The Open Gate

Author: Mrs. Lizzie Underwood Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 3 #116 (1898) First Line: I’ve heard them sing again and again Refrain First Line: It will open wide, yes, open wide Lyrics: 1 I’ve heard them sing again and again, Of a gate that stands ajar, Of a sunny clime, and golden plain, And a sinless land afar; But when I have past the chilly tide, And enter my home above, I believe the gate will open wide, On its golden hinge of love. Refrain: It will open wide, yes, open wide; I’ll pass thro’ its portals free, And rest in peace on the other side; It will open wide for me. 2 A welcome home at the open gate, From a land of angels bright; Do these for the ransom’d spirits wait, As it gains the land of light? We may not know of the joy untold, The bliss of the other side, But when I come to the gate of gold, I believe ‘twill open wide. [Refrain] 3 The sinner’s friend, as He reaches down, With a Saviour’s wondrous love, Who prepares a mansion, robe, and crown, In His shining courts above, Will gather His flock into the fold, To the fold beyond the tide; As they near the gate, the gate of gold, I believe ‘twill open wide. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I’ve heard them sing again and again]
