Honey Out of the Rock ‎#14

14. Throw Open the Gates

1 Throw open the gates of the city,
The city of crystal and gold,
That all who accept of the Savior
May enter with joy to the fold.

Refrain:
Throw open the gates of the city,
That its light may shine out on the way;
Throw open the gates of the city,
We are nearing its portals today.

2 Throw open the gates of the city,
The city of joy and of love,
That its light may shine out on the pathway
That leads to bright mansions above. [Refrain]

3 Throw open the gates of the city,
Let it’s glory shine out like a star,
That the millions who know not the Savior
May hasten from near and afar. [Refrain]
