Poem Words (five verses)
1.
Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates;
behold, the King of glory waits!
The King of kings is drawing near;
the Savior of the world is here.
behold, the King of glory waits!
The King of kings is drawing near;
the Savior of the world is here.
2.
O blest the land, the city blest,
where Christ the ruler is confessed!
O happy hearts and happy homes
to whom this King of triumph comes!
where Christ the ruler is confessed!
O happy hearts and happy homes
to whom this King of triumph comes!
3.
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.
make it a temple, set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy.
4.
Redeemer, come! I open wide
my heart to thee: here, Lord, abide!
Let me thy inner presence feel:
thy grace and love in me reveal.
my heart to thee: here, Lord, abide!
Let me thy inner presence feel:
thy grace and love in me reveal.
5.
So come, my Sovereign; enter in!
Let new and nobler life begin;
thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
until the glorious crown be won.
Let new and nobler life begin;
thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
until the glorious crown be won.
