Cântăre Inside the Door

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
