Hymn 114

The gate ajar for me

Verse 1
There is a gate that stands ajar,
And through its portals gleaming,
A radiance from the cross afar,
The Saviour’s love revealing.
Chorus
O depth of mercy! Can it be,
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me….. for me…………,
(For me,) (For me)
Was left ajar for me
Verse 2
That gate ajar stands free for all,
Who seek through it salvation,
The rich and poor, the great and small,
Of every tribe and nation.
Chorus
O depth of mercy! Can it be,
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me….. for me…………,
(For me,) (For me)
Was left ajar for me
Verse 3
Press onward, then, though foes may frown;
While mercy’s gate is open,
Accept the cross, and win the crown,
Love’s everlasting token.
Chorus
O depth of mercy! Can it be,
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me….. for me…………,
(For me,) (For me)
Was left ajar for me
Verse 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
O depth of mercy! Can it be,
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me….. for me…………,
(For me,) (For me)
Was left ajar for me
