Sitting at the feet of Jesus,

Oh, what words I hear Him say!

Happy place! so near, so precious!

May it find me there each day;


Sitting at the feet of Jesus,

I would look upon the past;

For His love has been so gracious,

It has won my heart at last.


Sitting at the feet of Jesus,

Where can mortal be more blest?

There I lay my sins and sorrows,

And, when weary, find sweet rest;


Sitting at the feet of Jesus,

There I love to weep and pray;

While I from His fullness gather

Grace and comfort every day.


Bless me, O my Savior, bless me,

As I sit low at Thy feet; [I?m waiting]

Oh, look down in love upon me,

Let me see Thy face so sweet;


Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus,

Keep me holy as He is;

May I prove I?ve been with Jesus,

Who is all my righteousness.
