Behold, the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near;
The Saviour of the world is here.

Mercy is ever at His side;
His kingly crown is holiness;
His sceptre, pity in distress.

Where Christ the Ruler is confessed!
Oh, happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!
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.
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.
