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! Who is the king of glory? How shall we call him? He is Immanuel, the promised of ages. In all of Galilee, in city or village, he goes among his people, curing their illness. He gave his life for us, the lamb of salvation; He took upon himself the sin of the nations. He conquered sin and death; he truly has risen, and he will share with us his heavenly kingdom. 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. 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. Thy Holy Spirit lead us on until our glorious goal is won; eternal praise, eternal fame be offered, Savior, to thy name! The king of glory comes; the nation rejoices. Open the gates before him; lift up your voices. Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates; behold, the King of glory waits;
