Tune:[O soul unsaved from all your sin]

120. For You He Died

1 O soul, unsaved from all your sin,
If you should stand tonight
And knock and wait at heaven’s gate,
Would Jesus’ voice invite?

Refrain:
For you he died, to open wide
The pearly gates so fair;
O come to him today and win
Abundant entrance there.

2 O since for you he shed his blood
Upon the cruel tree,
With outstretched hands he waiting stands,
To give you pardon free. [Refrain]

3 O wand’ring one, the Shepherd kind
Is seeking you today;
Where’er you roam afar from home,
He follows where you stray. [Refrain]

4 And when you trembling turn to him,
And heed his loving voice,
Around the throne where stand his own
The ransomed saints rejoice. [Refrain]
