AT JESUS' FEET.

By D. M'D. O'Farrell

THE world for fame and wealth aspires, There are no bounds to its desires; With vigilance and care it seeks, But not at Jesus' feet.
With Mary, I would come and sit, Myself to Jesus' care commit, Receiving what he sees most fit, While seated at his feet.
Fame's worldly heights I would not gain, By seeking an exalted name; I'd gain a humble, lowly seat, Close by my Saviour's feet.
I would not go beyond the cross, And more than Christ can give, engross; I'd consecrate myself complete And learn at Jesus' feet.
Oh! give me then some lowly place, Where I may see thy smiling face; I'd wish to have no higher seat Than at my Saviour's feet. —D. M'D. O'Farrell, in Censer.
