Lyrics

It was down at the feet of Je­sus,
O the hap­py, hap­py day!
That my soul found peace in be­liev­ing,
And my sins were washed away.

Refrain

Let me tell the old, old sto­ry
Of His grace so full and free;
For I feel like giv­ing Him the glo­ry
For His won­drous love to me.

It was down at the feet of Je­sus,
Where I found such per­fect rest,
Where the light first dawned on my spi­rit,
And my soul was tru­ly blest.

Refrain

It was down at the feet of Je­sus,
Where I brought my guilt and sin,
That he can­celled all my trans­gress­ions
And sal­va­tion en­tered in.
