I Am Sweeping Thro' the Gate

Author: John Parker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2724 First Line: I am now a child of God Refrain First Line: In the blood of yonder Lamb Lyrics: 1. I am now a child of God, For I’m washed in Jesus’ blood; I am watching and I’m longing while I wait; Soon on wings of love I’ll fly, To my home beyond the sky, To my welcome, as I’m sweeping thro’ the gate. Refrain In the blood of yonder Lamb, Washed from every stain I am; Robed in whiteness, clad in brightness, I am sweeping thro’ the gate; Robed in whiteness, clad in brightness, I am sweeping thro’ the gate. 2. Oh! the blessèd Lord of light, He upholds me by His might; And His arms enfold, and comfort while I wait; I am leaning on His breast, Oh! the sweetness of His rest, Hallelujah, I am sweeping thro’ the gate. [Refrain] 3. I am sweeping thro’ the gate Where the blessèd for me wait, Where the weary workers rest forevermore; Where the strife of earth is done, And the crown of life is won, Oh, the glory of that city just before! [Refrain] 4. Burst are all my prison bars; And I soar beyond the stars, To my Father’s house, the bright and blest estate. Lo! the morn eternal breaks, And the song immortal wakes, Robed in whiteness I am sweeping thro’ the gate. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I am now a child of God]

Philip Phillips

1834 - 1895 Person Name: Phillip Phillips Composer of "[I am now a child of God]" in The Cyber Hymnal Phillips, Philip, commonly known as the "Singing Pilgrim," was born in Chautauqua County, N. York, Aug. 13, 1834. Although engaged in farming for a time, from an early age he devoted himself to music, and ultimately devoted himself to the work of a "Singing Evangelist," in which capacity he has visited most English-speaking countries. His popular hymnals are: (1) Early Blossoms, 1860; (2) Musical Leaves, 1862; and (3) The Singing Pilgrim, 1866. In these works he published one or two hymns, including "I have heard of a Saviour's love" (The love of Christ), as in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 1878. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
