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