When the Gates Swing Open

Through the years I keep on toiling

Toiling through the storm and rain

Watchfully and patient waiting

'Til the Savior comes again

I am waiting, Lord

Trusting in Thy word

Keep me from the path of sin

Hide me in Thy love

Write my name above

When the gates swing open

Let me in

Tired of the load I carried

Tired of this world of sin

Angels in the kingdom beckon

Stating, "Weary soul, come in"

I am waiting, Lord

Trusting in Thy word

Keep me from the path of sin

Hide me in Thy love

Write my name above

When the gates swing open

Let me in

When the gates swing open

Let me in
