1 At the palace gate confessing
All our sorrow, all our care,
Peace we find, and joy and blessing,
At the royal palace gate of pray’r.

Refrain:
We are waiting, humbly waiting,
At the palace gate of pray’r;
Open, Lord, that we may enter
At the royal palace gate of pray’r.

2 At the palace gate abiding,
We are free from every snare,
In the King himself confiding,
At the royal palace gate of pray’r. [Refrain]

3 At the palace gate together,
We shall find our Saviour near,
And rejoice in him forever,
At the royal palace gate of pray’r. [Refrain]

4 At the palace gate of heaven,
Blessed spirits linger there,
Glory crowned and sin forgiven,
At the royal palace gate of pray’r. [Refrain]
