’Twas good to sit at Jesus’ feet
In Bethany
dear Bethany!
And feel His tender love so sweet
In Bethany
dear Bethany!
If now our faith and prayers agree
Our grateful hearts as glad may be
As those that Jesus came to see
In Bethany
dear Bethany!
His welcome voice with joy they heard
In Bethany
dear Bethany!
They treasured up each precious word
In Bethany
dear Bethany!
Whene’er He came their souls were blest
In Bethany
dear Bethany!
His presence left a hallowed rest
In Bethany
dear Bethany!
O Savior
make these hearts of ours
Thy Bethany
dear Bethany!
And grant to us the balmy showers
Of Bethany
dear Bethany!
