Inside the door, O safe retreat, From stormy winds that fiercely beat, From tempest waves that rise and swell, Inside the door, here all is well.
Refrain: Inside the door, oh, praise the Lord, Exalt His name with one accord, He is the door, He saves from sin, And shelters all that enter in; And so I now the theme repeat, Inside the door, O safe retreat.
Inside the door, O blessed calm, I feel a touch of heaven’s balm; And here my soul doth sweetly rest, As I repose on Jesus’ breast.
Inside the door, oh, let me stay, Nor let me wander far away; For in God’s house I would abide, Therein my soul is satisfied.
Inside the door, O Lord, I pray, Let me abide from day to day; Close by Thy side within the fold, That I Thy beauty may behold.
