Author: Thomas McDougall Hymnal: International Song Service #45 (1895) First Line: I love to sit at Jesus' feet Lyrics: 1 I love to sit at Jesus' feet,
In penitence and pray'r,
To taste the pardon ever sweet,
He freely gives me there.
'Tis there I love to plead my case,
His tenderness entreat,
And feel His loving, melting grace,
Within me at His feet.
Chorus:
Pardon sweet, at His feet, ever free,
Precious blood like a flood flows to me;
Come to Him, O come and live,
For so freely He'll forgive,
And wash all your sins away.
2 I love to sit in sorrow's hour,
Within that blest retreat,
And feel His gracious healing pow'r
Steal thro' me at His feet.
And there I feel the strength to dare,
And all my foes defeat,
The grace each cruel wrong to bear,
He gives me at His feet. [Chorus]
3 I love in sweet communion there,
To feel our spirits meet;
The feast is rich beyond compare,
He spreads me at His feet.
When I my Father's home shall see,
And all the loved ones greet,
No spot will be so dear to me,
As sitting at His feet. [Chorus]
