AT THE DOOR.

The mistakes of my life are many, The sins of my heart are more, And I scarce can see for weeping— But I still will knock at the door.
I am lowest of those who love him; I am weakest of those who pray— But I come as he has bidden, And he will not say me, Nay.
My mistakes his love shall cover, My sins he will wash away; And the feet that shrink and falter Shall walk through the gate of day.
If I turn not from his whisper, If I let not go his hand, I shall see him in his beauty— The King in the far-off land!
The mistakes of my life are many, And my soul is sick with sin, And I scarce can see for weeping— But the Lord will let me in.
