There is a gate that stands ajar
And through its portals gleaming
A radiance from the cross afar
The Savior's love revealing
Yes, in the blood of Christ I see
The gate that stands ajar for me
For me! For me!
That stands ajar for me!
That gate ajar stands free for all
Who seek thro' it salvation
The rich and poor, the great and small
Of every tribe and nation
| |
Press onward, then, tho' foes may frown
While mercy's gate is open
Accept the cross, and win the crown
Love's everlasting token
Alternate verse:
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
