The Angel at the Portal

Author: Asa Hull Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #26 (1885) First Line: I fear not the gloom of midnight Refrain First Line: Waiting, waiting, waiting to let me in Lyrics: 1 I fear not the gloom of midnight, I dread not the storm at sea; My Savior can calm the raging billows, And illumine a path for me. I fear not, O, I fear not, Nor heed darksome waves of sin; For the Angel is waiting at the portal Of glory to let me in. Chorus: Waiting, waiting, waiting to let me in; For the Angel is waiting at the portal, Is waiting to let me in. 2 I heed not the world’s allurements, While glory’s bright star I see; I’ll steer for the bright and shining portal, That the angel will ope for me. I’m seeking for joys immortal, And crowns that the righteous win;— And the angel is waiting at the portal Of glory to let me in. [Chorus] 3 I shrink not from cross or trial, I shun not the narrow way; I’ll watch at the ever-op’ning portal For a glimpse of eternal day. I’ll join in the praise eternal, And here will my song begin; For the angel is waiting at the portal Of glory to let me in. [Chorus] Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: [I fear not the gloom of midnight]
