1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates,
Alleluia!
Behold the King of glory waits;
Alleluia!
The King of kings is drawing near,
The Saviour of the world is here.
Alleluia!
2 O blest the land, the city blest,
Alleluia!
Where Christ the ruler is confessed.
Alleluia!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes.
Alleluia!
3 Redeemer, come! with us abide,
Alleluia!
My heart to the we open wide,
Alleluia!
Thy presence with us let us feel,
Thy grace and love in me reveal.
Alleluia!
