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.
“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 Opprest;
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.
