1. I stand a sinner at Your door,
In fear and hope, to You implore,

2. I fear the sins, to You not hid,
And hope in them Your mercy did.

3. Who but You can I hope and fear?
None can change what You decree.

4. My Lord, list not my deeds that day,
When records shall displayed lay.

5. Be my friend, when in the tomb,
Parted from all I loved and knew.

6. If mercy fails, though vast it be,
For my excess in sin to me,
