The Gospel Gates

All you that pant for living streams,

And pine away and die,

Come now and quench your raging thirst

With springs that never dry.

Rivers of justice and mercy here

In a rich deep ocean merge

Salvation in abundance flows,

And floods of grace now surge.

The gospel gates of Grace and Peace Now you have opened wide

Lord we would dwell forever here, In your presence to  abide

You perishing and naked poor,

Who work to no good end

To weave a garment of your own

That will not hide your sin,

Come naked, and adorn your souls

In robes prepared by God,

Wov’n by the labors of his Son,

And dyed in his own blood.

The gospel gates of Grace and Peace Now you have opened wide

Lord we would dwell forever here,In your presence to  abide

Our Father has prepared a feast

A banquet for the soul

And bids your longing appetites

To taste and be made full.

Our Father has prepared a way

That we might enter in

The treasury of mercy great

More boundless than our sins.

The gospel gates of Grace and Peace Now you have opened wide

Lord we would dwell forever here,In your presence to  abide

After Isaac Watts

Isa. 55:1,2, etc.
