“And the gates of it shall not be 
shut by day" - Rev. 21:25



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
