130. The Golden Gates Are Lifted Up

1 The golden gates are lifted up,
The doors are opened wide;
The King of Glory is gone up
Unto His Father's side.
Thou art gone up before us, Lord,
To make for us a place,
That we may be where now Thou art
And look upon God's face.

2 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds;
Let Thy dear grace be given,
That while we linger yet below
Our treasure be in Heaven;
That where Thou art at God's right hand,
Our hope, our love may be:
Dwell Thou in us, that we may dwell
Forevermore in Thee.
