CLXV. The Door

1 Awake, our souls, and bless his name,
Whose mercies never fail;
Who opens wide a door of hope
In anchor's gloomy vale.

2 Behold the portal wide display'd,
The building strong and fair;
Within are pastures fresh and green,
And living streams are there.

3 Enter, my soul, with cheerful haste,
For Jesus is the door;
Nor fear the serpent's wily arts,
Nor fear the lion's roar.

4 O may thy grace the nations lead,
And Jews and Gentiles come,
All travelling thro' one beauteous gate
To one eternal home.
