Hymn 645 – THERE is a gate that stands ajar | C&S English Hymnary

1. THERE is a gate that stands ajar, And thro’ its portals gleaming A radiance from the cross afar The Saviours love re-vealing. Chorus: Oh, depth 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 every tribe and nation. Chorus: Oh, depth of mercy!... 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: Oh, depth of mercy!... 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: Oh, depth of mercy! can it be That gate was left ajar for me For me-for me‐ Was Left ajar for me? AMEN
