Tune: | ARISTIDES |
Composer: | A. H. Mann |
1 The golden gates are lifted up,
The doors are opened wide;
The King of Glory is gone in
Unto His Father's side.
2 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.
3 And ever on our earthly path
A gleam of glory lies,
A light still breaks behind the cloud
That veiled Thee from our eyes.
4 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds:
Let Thy dear grace be given,
That, while we wander here below,
Our treasure be in heaven;
5 That where Thou art, at God's right hand,
Our hope, our love, may be:
Dwell Thou in us, that we may dwell
For evermore in Thee.
