The Gate Ajar for Me

1There is a gate that stands ajar,
And thro' its portals gleaming,
A radiance from the cross afar,
The Saviour's love revealing.

RefrainO depth of mercy! can it be That gate was left ajar for me?
For me, for me?
Was left ajar for me?

2That 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.

3Press onward, then, tho' foes may frown;
While mercy's gate is open;
Accept the cross, and win the crown,
Love's everlasting token.

4Beyond 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.
