Tune:[Sitting at the feet of Jesus]
Composer:H. E. Kimball

6. Sitting At The Feet Of Jesus

1 Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Oh, what words I hear Him say!
Happy place! so dear, so precious!
May I there be found each day.

Chorus:
Here I'll rest forever,
Here I'll rest forever,
And drink from life's pure river,
The draught that makes me whole.

2 Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
There I love to weep and pray;
While I from His fullness gather
Grace and comfort every day. [Chorus]

3 Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
I would choose that better part;
Flee from earthly cares and pleasures,
While I tell him all my heart. [Chorus]

4 Bless me, O my Saviour, bless me,
As I'm sitting at thy feet,
Oh! look down in love upon me,
Let me see thy face so sweet. [Chorus]
