[Verse 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!

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 4]
Thy Holy Spirit lead us on
until our glorious goal is won;
eternal praise, eternal fame
be offered, Savior, to thy name!
