O sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low, "I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door; Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore! Amen. Used With Tune: ST. EDITH

[Refrain] 4 It will surely hold in the floods of death, When the waters cold chill our latest breath, On the rising tide it can never fail, While our hopes abide within the veil. [Refrain] 5 When our eyes behold, in the dawning light, Shining gates of pearl, our harbor bright, We shall anchor fast to the heav'nly shore, With the storms all past forevermore.
