SS&S 482: I STOOD OUTSIDE THE GATE

SS&S 482: I STOOD OUTSIDE THE GATE

1. 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.

 

2. "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.

 

3. In Mercy's guise I knew

The Saviour long abused,

Who often sought my heart,

And wept when 1 refused.

Oh, what a blest return

For all my years of sin!----

I stood outside the gate,

And Jesus let me in.
