Thread Name: Hymn, The Gates Ajar
Subject: Lyr Add: GATES AJAR (C.A. Miles)
There's another "Gates Ajar" hymn in New Songs of Praise and Power: 1-2-3 Combined, edited by J. Lincoln Hall, C. Austion Miles, Dr. Adam Geibel, and B.D. Ackley (Hall-Mack Company, 1922, no. 12):
GATES AJAR (C.A.M. / C. Austin Miles)
1. Faith reveals in untold beauty What no mortal eye can see; 'Tis a vision fair and glorious, Of the gates ajar for me.
Refrain: Gates ajar, gates ajar, of that city I see, As I sail upon the billows of Time's resistless sea; "Yes, I think I see that city, and the lighthouse on the shore," And I hear the angels singing thro' the gates ajar.
2. Lord, I know I am not worthy Of myself, to be Thine own, But I know Thou wilt not fail me, When I kneel before Thy throne.
3. Fearless then I wait the boatman, Who shall bear me o'er the sea, To that fair and blessed harbor, With its gates ajar for me.
