Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky! The ringing of a thousand harps Proclaims the triumph high. O day for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousandfold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan’s happy shore! What knitting severed friendship where Death partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain, Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign! Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior come! Used With Tune: ALFORD

We speak of its pathway of gold- Its walls decked with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasures untold- But what must it be to be there! 2 We speak of its freedom of sin, From sorrow, temptation and care, From trials without and within— But what must it be to be there! We speak of its service of love, Of the robes which glorified wear, Of the church of the First Born above- But what must it be to be there! 3 Our mourning is all at an end, When, raised by the life-giving word, We see the new city descend, Adorned as a bride for her Lord; The city so holy and clean, No sorrow can breathe in the air; No gloom of affliction or sin, No shadow of evil, is there. 4 Do Thou, midst temptation and woe, For heaven my spirit prepare; And shortly I also so shall know And feel what it is to be there. Then o’er the bright fields we shall roam, In glory celestial and fair, With saints and with angels at home, And Jesus Himself will be there. Used With Tune: CONTRAST
