Author: Mrs. Lydia Baxter Hymnal: Christian Hymns #172 (1935) First Line: There is a gate that stands ajar Refrain First Line: Yes, in the blood of Christ I see Lyrics: 1 There is a gate that stands ajar,
And thro' its portals gleaming,
A radiance from the crown afar,
The Saviour's love revealing.
Refrain:
Yes, in the blood of Christ I see
The gate that stands ajar for me,
For me, for me,
That stands 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 ev'ry 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 ever lasting token. [Refrain]
4 Beyond the river’s brink we’ll lay
The cross that here is taken,
And bear the crown of life away,
And love Him more in heaven. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a gate that stands ajar]
