And through its portals gleaming
A radiance from the cross afar,
The Savior’s love revealing.
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me (for me)? For me (for me)?
Was left ajar for me!
Who seek through it salvation;
The rich and poor, the great and small,
Of every tribe and nation.
While mercy’s gate is open;
Accept the cross, and win the crown,
Love’s everlasting token.
The cross that here is given,
And bear the crown of life away,
And love Him more in Heaven.
