176. Lift Up Your Heads, O Mighty Gates
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 heav'n's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy.
3 Redeemer, come! I open wide
my heart to you; here, Lord, abide!
Let me your inner presence feel;
your grace and love in me reveal.
4 So come, my Sovereign, enter in!
Let new and nobler life begin!
Your Holy Spirit guide us on,
until the glorious crown be won.
