The Glorious Gates of Righteousness

Representative Text

1 The glorious gates of righteousness
throw open unto me,
and I will enter them with praise,
O LORD, my God, to Thee,
and I will enter them with praise,
O LORD, my God, to Thee.

2 This is Thy temple gate, O LORD,
the just shall enter there.
My Savior, I will give Thee thanks,
O Thou that hearest pray'r;
my Savior, I will give Thee thanks,
O Thou that hearest prayer.

3 The stone rejected and despised
is now the cornerstone;
how wondrous are the ways of God,
unfathomed and unknown;
how wondrous are the ways of God,
unfathomed and unknown!

4 In this the day that Thou hast made,
triumphantly we sing;
send now prosperity, O LORD;
O LORD, salvation bring;
send now prosperity, O LORD;
O LORD, salvation bring.
