Lift up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates

Author: George Weissel, 1590-1635 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 286 hymnals First Line: Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Lyrics: 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; Life and salvation He doth bring, Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing: All praise and glory be to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, eternally. 2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried, Mercy is ever at His side; His kingly crown is holiness, His scepter, pity in distress, The end of all our woe He brings: Wherefore the earth is glad and sings: All praise and glory be to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, eternally. 3 Oh, blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confest! Oh, happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss. All praise and glory be to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, eternally. 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: So shall your Sovereign enter in, And new and nobler life begin. All praise and glory be to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, eternally. 5 Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide? Let me thine inner presence feel, Thy grace and love in me reveal; Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, Until our glorious goal be won. All praise and glory be to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, eternally. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: GÖR PORTEN HÖG

Lord, It Is Good for Us To Be

Author: Arthur Penrhyn Stanley Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it is good for us to be High on the mountain here with Thee, Where stand revealed to mortal gaze Those glorious saints of other days, Who once received on Horeb's height Th'eternal laws of truth and right, Or caught the still small whisper, higher Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire. 2 Lord, it is good for us to be Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee; And watch Thy glistering raiment glow Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow, The human lineaments that shine Irradiant with a light divine: Till we too change from grace to grace, Gazing on that transfigured face. 3 Lord, it is good for us to be Here on the holy mount with Thee; When darkling in the depths of night, When dazzled with excess of light, We bow before the heavenly voice That bids bewildered souls rejoice, Though love wax cold, and faith be dim: "This is my Son; O hear ye Him!" Amen. Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals; Transfiguration; Christ Transfiguration on; Transfiguration of Christ Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Used With Tune: GÖR PORTEN HÖG, GÖR DÖRREN BRED
