1 Lift up your heads, O mighty gates;
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!
3 Fling wide the portals of your heart;
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for heav'n's employ,
Adorned with prayer and love and joy.
4 Redeemer, come! I open wide
My heart to you: here, Lord, abide!
Let me your inner presence feel:
Your grace and love in me reveal.
5 So come, my Sov'reign, enter in!
Let new and nobler life begin;
Your Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until the glorious crown be won.
