As intent each word she noted,
At her Saviour’s feet reclined:
How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling,
While hearing the lessons that Christ was revealing;
For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot,
And all was repaid in that one happy lot.
Thus my longings, heav’nward tending,
Jesu, rest alone on Thee;
Help me, thus on Thee depending,
Saviour! come and dwell in me:
