1
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
2
Like a dove when hunted frightened
As a wounded fawn was I
Brokenhearted 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
3
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
He the pearly gates will open
So that I may enter in
For He purchased my redemption
And forgave me all my sin
4
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
He the pearly gates will open
So that I may enter in
For He purchased my redemption
And forgave me all my sin
