The Voice of Praise ‎#214

214. O Swing the Gates Wide Open

1 O swing the gates wide open,
Ye angels fair and bright,
The King of glory cometh,
Triumphant in his might.

Chorus:
Sing glory, hallelujah,
The night of death is past;
The resurrection morning
Has dawned on us at last.
Sing glory, hallelujah,
The night of death is past;
The resurrection morning
Has dawned on us at last.

2 Praise God! Sing hallelujah!
The stone is rolled away;
Beyond the tomb is shining
Hope's glad eternal day. [Chorus]

3 O swing the gates wide open,
Our longing eyes would see
The Christ who lives in heaven
To plead for you and me. [Chorus]

4 With songs of adoration
We haste to greet our King,
While thro' the streets so golden
Loud hallelujah's ring. [Chorus]
