In Bethany

’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!
