He the Pearly Gates Will Open

Love di­vine

so great and won­drous

Deep and migh­ty

pure

sub­lime!

Coming from the heart of Je­sus

Just the same through tests of time.

He the pear­ly gates will op­en

So that I may en­ter in;

For He pur­chased my re­demp­tion

And for­gave me all my sin.

Like a dove when hunt­ed

fright­ened

As a wound­ed fawn was I;

Brokenhearted

yet He healed me

He will heed the sin­ner’s cry.

Love di­vine

so great and won­drous

All my sins He then for­gave!

I will sing His praise for­ev­er

For His blood

His pow­er to save.

In life’s ev­en­tide

at twi­light

At His door I’ll knock and wait;

By the pre­cious love of Je­sus

I shall en­ter Heav­en’s gate.
