Verse 1
Sitting at the feet of Je­sus, (Luke 10:39-42, Luke 8:35)
Oh, what words I hear Him say!
Happy place! so near, so pre­cious!
May it find me there each day. (Ps. 16:11, Ps. 27:4, Ps. 84:10)
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. (Jer. 31:3, Eph. 2:4-5)

Verse 2
Sitting at the feet of Je­sus, (Luke 10:39)
Where can mor­tal be more blest? (Luke 10:42, Ps. 65:4)
There I lay my sins and sor­rows (Ps. 55:22, I Pet. 5:7)
And, when wea­ry, find sweet rest. (Matt. 11:28-29)
Sitting at the feet of Je­sus,
There I love to weep and pray, (Luke 7:37-38)
While I from His full­ness ga­ther
Grace and com­fort ev­ery day. (John 1:16)

Verse 3
Bless me, O my Sav­ior, bless me,
As I sit low at Thy feet. (Luke 10:39, Deut. 33:3)
Oh, look down in love up­on me;
Let me see Thy face so sweet. (Ps. 17:15, Ps. 27:8, Rev. 22:4)
Give me, Lord, the mind of Je­sus; (Phil. 2:5, I Cor. 2:16)
Make me ho­ly as He is. (Lev. 11:44, I Pet. 1:15-16)
May I prove I’ve been with Je­sus, (Acts 4:13)
Who is all my right­eous­ness. (Jer. 23:5-6, I Cor. 1:30, Phil. 3:8-9)
