Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#171

171. Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates

1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates;
behold, the King of glory waits.
The King of kings is drawing near;
the Savior 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, with us abide;
our hearts to Thee we open wide.
Let us Thy inner presence feel;
Thy grace and love in us reveal.

4 Thy Holy Spirit lead us on
until our glorious goal is won.
Eternal praise, eternal fame
be offered, Savior, to Thy name!
