Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians #16 (1803) Hymnal Title: Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians First Line: Before Elisha's gate Lyrics: 1 Before Elisha's gate The Syrian leper stood, But could not brook to wait, He deem'd himself too good: He thought the prophet would attend, And not to him a message send. 2 Have I this journey come, And will he not be seen? I were as well at home, Would washing make me clean: Why must I wash in Jordan's flood? Damascus' rivers are as good. 3 Thus, by his foolish pride, He almost miss'd a cure; Howe'er at length he try'd And found the method sure: Soon as his pride was brought to yield, His leprosy was quickly heal'd. 4 Leprous and proud as he, To Jesus thus I came, From sin to set me free, When first I heard his fame: Surely, thought I, my pompous train Of vows and tears will notice gain. 5 My heart devis'd the way Which I suppos'd he'd take; And when I found delay, Was ready to go back: Had he some painful task enjoin'd I to performance seem'd inclin'd. 6 When by his word he spake, "that fountain open'd see; "Twas open'd for thy sake, "Go wash and thou art free:" Oh! how did my proud heart gainsay, I fear'd to trust this simple way. 7 At length I trial made, When I had much endur'd, The message I obey'd, I wash'd and I was cur'd: Sinners this healing fountain try Which cleans'd a wretch so vile as I.
