Wilt thou hearken to thy Saviour, Hear His words of tender love? Wilt thou enter through the portals Where earth blends with Heav'n above? Wilt thou meet Him in the Garden Where the cooling fountains flow, While the dew is on the roses, With the eastern sky aglow? Jesus is the Door of entrance That is standing now ajar; For the sinner who is weary 'Tis a step that is not far. He is ever watching, waiting, Just within the wicket gate. Wilt thou meet Him now, my brother, Now before it is too late? Meet the Lily of the Valleys; Walk with Sharon's dewy Rose; Lift thine eyes unto the mountains Whence doth come surcease of woes; Drink from founts of Living Waters That forevermore shall flow; Know the joy of sins forgiven That the souls redeeméd know! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ODYSSEY: THE GARDENS OF ALCINOUS by HOMER JUNE BRACKEN AND HEATHER by ALFRED TENNYSON AS NIGHT COMES by CHARLES G.
