Jesus Said + I Am Come That They Might Have Life
At the Feet of Jesus
At the feet of Jesus,
Listening to His word;
Learning wisdom’s lesson
From her loving Lord;
Mary, led by heav’nly grace,
Chose the meek disciple’s place.
At the feet of Jesus
Is the place for me,
There a humble learner
Would I choose to be.
At the feet of Jesus,
Pouring perfume rare,
Mary did her Savior
For the grave prepare;
And, from love the good work
done,
She her Lord’s approval won.
At the feet of Jesus
Is the place for me,
There, in sweetest service
Would I ever be.
At the feet of Jesus,
In that morning hour,
Loving hearts, receiving
Resurrection power,
Haste with joy to preach the word;
Christ is risen, praise the Lord!
At the feet of Jesus,
Risen now for me,
I shall sing His praises
Through eternity.
Words: Philip P. Bliss, 1876
It seems to me that we sang this hymn when I was a teen, and we sang it in German! Zu des Heiland’s Fuessen!! Humming it to myself and it fits!
Thanks – what a blessing!
Beautiful hymn, Ellen!
At the feet of Jesus
Is the place for me
Those are the words that say it all for me!
“At the feet of Jesus is the place for me.” Yes.
I’ve never heard this hymn before, but the words are so good.
It is the place for me too! Thank you for sharing these hymns!
Beautiful church and beautiful hymn!
