Author: Mrs. Lydia Baxter Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E141 (1913) First Line: There is a gate stands ajar Refrain First Line: Oh, depth of mercy! can it be Lyrics: 1 There is a gate stands ajar,
And thro' its portals gleaming,
A radiance from the cross afar,
The Saviour's love revealing,
Chorus:
Oh, dept of mercy! can it be,
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me, for me?
Was left ajar for me?
2 That gate ajar stands free for all
Who seek thro' it salvation;
The rich and poor, the great and small,
Of ev'ry tribe and nation. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
4 Beyond the river's brink we'll lay
The cross that here is given,
And bear the crown of life away,
And love Him more in heaven. [Chorus] Topics: Invitation Languages: English Tune Title: GATES AJAR
There is a Gate that Stands Ajar
