From heaven you came, helpless babe. Graham Kendrick* (1950- ). This song is usually known as ‘The Servant King’. It was written for the Spring Harvest* event of 1984, ‘to explore the vision of Christ as the servant who would wash the disciples’ feet but who was also the Creator of the universe’. It has become one of the most popular of Kendrick’s songs, and is to be found in many books published since that date, including RS, A&MCP, and A&MRW.  In Australia it is included in TIS (1999), and in Ireland it is in ICH5 and the Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook (2004). It is also in the Scottish CH4. Kendrick’s tune is entitled THE SERVANT KING. Nancy Jiwon...
