Guide Us to the Portals

Representative Text

1 Guide us to the heavenly portals,
To that shining land so fair;
Till we enter heaven’s harbor,
Till we anchor safely there.

Refrain:
Guide us to the heavenly portals,
To that shining land so fair;
Till we enter heaven’s portals,
Till we anchor safely there.

2 Guide us to the heavenly portals,
To that land that comes no night;
Lead us on our upward journey,
Guide us to the mansions bright. [Refrain]

3 Guide us to the heavenly portals,
Evermore to be at rest;
Where the angels’ band are singing,
In the bright home of the blest. [Refrain]
