I Stood Outside The Gate,
A Poor, Wayfaring Child ;
Within My Heart There Beat
A Tempest Loud And Wild ;
A Fear Oppressed My Soul
That I Might Be Too Late !
And Oh, I Trembled Sore,
And Prayed Outside The Gate,
And Prayed Outside The Gate.
Oh, Mercy ! Loud I Cried,
“Now Give Me Rest From Sin !
“I Will ! A Voice Replied ;
And Mercy Let Me In
She Bound My Bleeding Wounds,
And Soothed My Heart Oppressed ;
She Washed Away My Guilt,
And Gave Me Peace And Rest.
In Mercy’s Guise I Knew
The Saviour Long Abused,
Who Often Sought My Heart,
And Wept When I Refused.
Oh, What A Blest Return
For All My Years Of Sin !
I Stood Outside The Gate,
And Jesus Let Me In.
