He the Pearly Gates Will Open

By Fred Blom
They that do His commandments. . .  may enter trough the gates into the city. – Revelation 22:14

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;
Broken hearted, yet He healed me. He will heed the sinner’s cry.
He the pearly gates will open, so that I may enter in;
For He purchased my redemption, and forgave me all my sin.

Love divine, so great and wondrous! All my sins He then forgave.
I will sing His praises forever, for His blood, His power to save.
He the pearly gates will open, so that I may enter in;
For He purchased my redemption, and forgave me all my sin.

In life’s even tide at twilight, at His door I’ll knock and wait;
By the precious love of Jesus, I shall enter heaven’s gate.
He the pearly gates will open, so that I may enter in;
For He purchased my redemption, and forgave me all my sin.
