Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: Praise and Worship Hymns #107 (1927) First Line: There sat by the beautiful temple gate Refrain First Line: Though silver and gold I have none to give Lyrics: 1 There sat by the beautiful temple gate
A soul in the thrall of sin;
His heart was heavy, so sore His fate,
He wished he might freedom win.
Refrain:
Though silver and gold I have none to give,
Yet this do I offer thee;
In the name of Jesus, the Christ, walk forth
From bondage forever free.
2 He sat by the beautiful temple gate,
As Jesus, the Christ, drew nigh;
He prayed for help, be it soon or late,
Hoped someone would hear his cry. [Refrain]
3 And there by the beautiful temple gate,
The servant of God that day
Broke down the bonds of that sad estate,
And spoke all his fears away. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There sat by the beautiful temple gate]
At the Beautiful Gate
