Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns First Line: Awake, our souls, and bless his name Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls, and bless his name,
Whose mercies never fail;
Who opens wide a door of hope
In anchor's gloomy vale.
2 Behold the portal wide display'd,
The building strong and fair;
Within are pastures fresh and green,
And living streams are there.
3 Enter, my soul, with cheerful haste,
For Jesus is the door;
Nor fear the serpent's wily arts,
Nor fear the lion's roar.
4 O may thy grace the nations lead,
And Jews and Gentiles come,
All travelling thro' one beauteous gate
To one eternal home. Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ The Door; Christ Door; Strait Gate Scripture: John 10:9 Languages: English
