The Gate Ajar for Me
There is a gate that stands ajar,
1
There is a gate that stands ajar,And through its portals gleaming,A radiance from the cross afar,The Saviour's love revealing.
Refrain.
O depth of mercy! can it beThat gate was left ajar for me?For me, for me?Was left ajar for me?
2
That gate ajar stands free for allWho seek through it salvation;The rich and poor, the great and small,Of ev'ry tribe and nation.
3
Press onward, then, tho' foes may frown;While mercy's gate is open;Accept the cross, and win the crown,Love's everlasting token.
4
Beyond the river's brink we'll layThe cross that here is given,And bear the crown of life away,And love Him more in heaven.
