1 Today at the feet of my blessed Lord I waited,
And heard his promise sweet,
His precious promise sweet;
I lingered in faith ‘till my soul with love was freighted,
And now my joy is full and complete.

Full and complete,
Yes, full and complete,
My joy is full and complete.
I lingered in faith ‘till my soul with love was freighted,
And now my joy is full and complete.

2 Today my poor soul knows the joy of sins forgiven;
While sitting at his feet,
My blessed Savior’s feet;
The strong bands of sin from my heart and soul were riven.
And now my joy is full and complete.

Full and complete,
Yes, full and complete,
My joy is full and complete.
The strong bands of sin from my heart and soul were riven.
And now my joy is full and complete.

3 Today my poor soul heard the voice of love undying,
In tender tones and sweet,
In earnest tones and sweet;
Thy sins are forgiven, “O cease thy mournful crying,”
And now my joy is full and complete.

Full and complete,
Yes, full and complete,
My joy is full and complete.
Thy sins are forgiven, “O cease thy mournful crying,”
And now my joy is full and complete.
