<p>Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates;<br>
|
|
Behold, the King of glory waits;<br>
|
|
The King of kings is drawing near;<br>
|
|
The Savior of the world is here!</p>
|
|
<p>A Helper just He comes to thee,<br>
|
|
His chariot is humility,<br>
|
|
His kingly crown is holiness,<br>
|
|
His scepter, pity in distress.</p>
|
|
<p>O blest the land, the city blest,<br>
|
|
Where Christ the Ruler is confessed!<br>
|
|
O happy hearts and happy homes<br>
|
|
To whom this King in triumph comes!</p>
|
|
<p>Fling wide the portals of your heart;<br>
|
|
Make it a temple, set apart<br>
|
|
From earthly use for heaven’s employ,<br>
|
|
Adorned with prayer and love and joy.</p>
|
|
<p>Redeemer, come, with us abide;<br>
|
|
Our hearts to Thee we open wide;<br>
|
|
Let us Thy inner presence feel;<br>
|
|
Thy grace and love in us reveal.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy Holy Spirit lead us on<br>
|
|
Until our glorious goal is won;<br>
|
|
Eternal praise, eternal fame<br>
|
|
Be offered, Savior, to Thy Name!</p>
