[Verso 1]
 
      A              A 
I am now a child of God, 
            D                A 
Ive been washed in Je­sus blood, 
       A                 A 
I am watch­ing and Im long­ing 
         E 
While I wait; 
          A                 A 
Soon on wings of love Ill fly, 
       D              A 
To a home be­yond the sky; 
         A 
To my wel­come, 
         A       E         A 
As Im sweep­ing thro the gates.

   A                 E 
Sweeping thro the gates, 
         A                  A 
In the blood of Cal­vrys Lamb, 
              D            A 
Washed from ev­ery stain I am; 
    A 
Hallelujah! 
         A      E         A 
I am sweep­ing thro the gates. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
           A              A 
Oh, the bless­èd Lord of light 
       D                A 
Now up­holds me by His might, 
         A                 A 
And His arms en­fold and com­fort 
         E 
While I wait; 
        A             A 
I am lean­ing on His breast; 
             D             A 
Oh, the sweet­ness of this rest! 
    A 
Hallelujah! 
         A      E         A 
I am sweep­ing thro the gates.

I am sweep­ing thro the gates. 
 


[Verso 3]
 
         A               A 
I am sweep­ing thro the gate, 
            D             A 
Where the bless­èd for me wait, 
           A 
Where the wea­ry work­ers 
  A          E 
Rest for­ev­er­more. 
            A                 A 
Where the strife of earth is done, 
          D               A 
And the crown of life is won, 
          A            E          A 
Oh, the glo­ry of that ci­ty just be­fore!

[Verso 4]
 
           A             A 
Burst are all my pri­son bars, 
       D                A 
And I soar be­yond the stars, 
         A 
To my Fa­thers house, 
       A                E 
The bright and blest es­tate; 
         A 
Lo! the morn eter­nal breaks, 
         D              A 
And the song im­mor­tal wakes, 
            A 
Washed in Je­sus blood, 
       A       E         A 
Im sweep­ing thro the gates!
