THERE is a gate that stands ajar, And through its portals gleaming A radiance from the cross afar, The Saviour's love revealing. Oh, depth of mercy! can it be, that gate was left ajar for me? For me, for me, for me, for me? was left ajar for me? 3 2 That gate ajar stands free for all 3 Press onward then, though foes may frown, While mercy's gate is open; Accept the cross, and win the crown, 4 Beyond the river's brink we'll lay Jesus Loves quen Oę.

"Go work to-day in my vineyard.”—Matt. xxi. 28. GO work in My vineyard!" there's plenty to do; The harvest is great, and the labourers are few ; [roots, There's weeding, and fencing, and clearing of And ploughing, and sowing, and gathering the fruits. [destroy, There are foxes to take, there are wolves to All ages and ranks I can fully employ : I've sheep to be tended, and lambs to be fed; The lost must be gathered, the weary ones led. Go work, go work, Go work in My vineyard; there's plenty to do; The harvest is great, and the labourers are few. 2 Go work in My vineyard!" I claim thee as Mine; 3 The bright hours of sunshine are hastening away, And night's gloomy shadows are gathering fast; Then the time for our labour shall ever be past. |
