226   Lift Up Your Heads




[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]
The Lord is just a helper tried;
Mercy is ever at His side;
His kingly crown is holiness
His scepter pity in distress.

[3]
O blest the land the city blest
Where Christ the Ruler is confessed!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!

[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.

[5]
Redeemer come; I open wide
My heart to Thee; here Lord abide.
Let me Thy inner presence feel
Thy grace and love in me reveal.
