1 There is a place I love to dwell,
‘Tis at the feet of Jesus;
Where all my guilt and grief I tell,
‘Tis at the feet of Jesus.

Refrain:
My Saviour’s feet,
I love to linger there,
Where I can hold communion sweet,
With Christ in humble pray’r.

2 There is a harbor for the soul,
‘Tis at the feet of Jesus;
When billows high above us roll,
‘Tis at the feet of Jesus. [Refrain]

3 There is a place among the blest,
‘Tis at the feet of Jesus;
When I forevermore may rest,
‘Tis at the feet of Jesus. [Refrain]
