I Stood Outside the Gate

Author: Josephine Pollard Hymnal: Christ in Song #90 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted Lyrics: 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 pray'd outside the gate, And pray'd outside the gate. 2 "O 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, 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 I refused; Oh! what a blest return For all my years of sin! I stood outside the gate, And Jesus let me in, And Jesus let me in, Languages: English Tune Title: [I stood outside the gate]
