Author: George Weissel, 1590-1635; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #136 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates,
Behold, the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near;
The SavioUr of the world is here!
2 Fling wide the portals of your heart;
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for Heaven's employ,
Adorned with prayer, and love, and joy.
3 Redeemer, come, we open wide
Our hearts to Thee: here, Lord, abide.
Thine inner presence let us feel;
Thy grace and love in us reveal.
AMEN. Topics: Lent/Palm Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates
