The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#46

46. The Gate Ajar for Me

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

Refrain:
O depths 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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
