"Jesu, Jesu" is Colvin's most popular hymn. The melody is adapted from a Ghanaian folk song he heard during his years of service in that country. The tune name CHEREPONI comes from a town in northern Ghana, where the hymn was written. Arranged by Michael Helman for 3-5 octave handbells with optional 3 octave handchimes.

Because of the reference to foot washing in stanza 1 (John 13:1-17), this hymn may be used successfully during Holy Week. However, the general theme of service makes the hymn appropriate for any time of the year. The dominant theme is the equality of all peoples in Christ (John 13:16). All people -- "rich and poor" and "black and white" -- are our neighbors.
