Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!
Author: George Weissel; Miss Winkworth Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 283 hymnals 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;
Life and salvation He doth bring,
Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing:
We praise Thee, Father, now,
Creator, wise art Thou!
2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried,
Mercy is ever at His side;
His kingly crown is holiness,
His sceptre, pity in distress,
The end of all our woe He brings;
Wherefore the earth is glad and sings:
We praise Thee, Saviour, now,
Mighty in deed are Thou!
3 O blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the Ruler is confest!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!
The cloudless Sun of joy He is,
Who bringeth pure delight and bliss:
O Comforter Divine,
What boundless grace is Thine!
PART II
4 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;
So shall your Sovereign enter in,
And new and nobler life begin:
To Thee, O God, be praise,
For word and deed and grace!
5 Redeemer, come! I open wide
My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide!
Let me Thy inner presence feel,
Thy grace and love in me reveal;
Thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until our glorious goal be won!
Eternal praise and fame
We offer to Thy Name.

1.
The Lord into his garden comes,
The spices yield a rich perfume,
The lilies grow and thrive,
(Repeat previous line);
Refreshing showers of grace divine,
From Jesus flow to every vine,
And make the dead revive,
(Repeat previous line).

Come, Let Us All with One Accord
Author: Anonymous; Henrietta M. Chester Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, let us all with one accord
Adore and magnify the Lord,
And festive service pay.
2. On this the day that God hath blest,
The day of peace and heavenly rest,
The Lord’s own holy day.
3. That saw primeval darkness break,
And that more glorious life awake
That lasteth evermore.
4. That saw hell’s legions prostrate fall,
And Christ, triumphant over all,
His own to Heaven restore.
5. This day the peace that flows from Heaven
Was unto the apostles given,
When doors were closed at night.
6. This day the Holy Spirit’s flame
Upon the Church’s teachers came,
And filled their souls with light.
7. Still on this day with trumpet sound
The Gospel notes were ringing round,
To call the world to pray.
8. Then on this day let us adore
Our God and supplication pour,
That, when worlds pass away,
9. Through Christ’s dear grace our souls may rest
In peace and joy, forever blest,
Till the great judgment day. Used With Tune: HOLY DAY (Parker) Text Sources: Elucidatorium of Clichtovaeus (Paris: 1516); Translation: Hymnary, 1872
