¶Lyrics / Text

Lift up your heads, you mighty gates, behold, the King of Glory waits, the King of kings is drawing near, the Saviour of the world is here. O blest the land, the city blest where Christ the ruler is confessed. O happy hearts and happy homes to whom this King in triumph comes. Fling wide the portals of your heart, make it a temple set apart from earthly use for heaven’s employ, adorned with prayer and love and joy. Come, Saviour, come, with us abide; our hearts to thee we open wide: thy Holy Spirit guide us on, until our glorious goal is won.
