Hymn 480: The mistakes of my life have been many

The mistakes of my life have been many, The sins of my heart have been more, And I scarce can see for weeping, But I'll knock at the open door.

I know I am weak and sinful, It comes to me more and more ; But when the dear Saviour shall bid me I'll enter the open door. [come in,

2. I am lowest of those who love Him, I am weakest of those who pray ; But I come as He has bidden, And He will not say me nay.

3. My mistakes His free grace will cover, My sins He will wash away; And the feet that shrink and falter Shall walk through the gates of day.

4. The mistakes of my life have been many, And my spirit is sick with sin, And I scarce can see for weeping, But the Saviour will let me in.
