Author: George Weissel, 1590-1635; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: Breaking Bread (Vol. 39) #69 (2019) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, you 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 confest!
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 So come, my Sov'reign; enter in!
Let new and nobler life begin;
Thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until the glorious crown be won. Topics: Seasonal Music Advent Scripture: Psalm 24 Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
