Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy, 1804-1889; Michael Schultz, b. 1963 Hymnal: Christian Worship (2008) #701 (2008) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Zion, at your shining gates,
See, the King of glory waits;
Haste your monarch now to greet,
Spread your palms before his feet.
2 [Text copyrigthed]
3 Come and give us peace within,
Loose us from the bands of sin,
Take away the heavy weight
Laid on us by greed and hate.
4 Give us grace your yoke to wear,
Give us strength your cross to bear,
Make us yours in deed and word,
Yours in heart and life, O Lord.
5 So when you shall come again,
Lord of angels and of men,
We with all your saints shall sing
Loud hosannas to our King. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: COVENANT CHURCH
