“Mary... sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard His word.”
Luke 10:39
Sitting at the Saviour’s feet,
Listening to His words so sweet:
Words of life and truth and grace,
Words that every fear erase.
At His feet we take our place,
From life’s hurried, busy pace;
Resting there Himself our joy –
Jesus Christ our hearts employ.
That good part we gladly choose,
In His presence thus to muse;
Drinking in each wise precept,
In our hearts each saying kept.
Thus may we continue there,
Meditating on His care,
Find a quiet, glad retreat,
Full resource at Jesus’ feet.
When we see Christ face to face,
At His feet we’ll take our place;
Of His ways forever learn;
Lord, we long for Thy return!
