[Wide, ye heavenly gates, unfold]
1.
Wide, ye heavenly gates, unfold,Closed no more by death and sin;
Lo! the conq'ring Lord behold,
Let the King of glory in.
Hark! th' angelic host inquire,
Who is he th' almighty King?
Hark, again, the answering choir,
Thus in songs of triumph sing.
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
2.
He, whose powerful arm alone,On his foes destruction hurl'd;
He who hath the victory won,
He who saved a ruined world;—
He, who God's pure law fulfill'd,
Jesus, the incarnate Word;
He, whose truth with blood was seal'd;
He is heav'n's all-glorious Lord.
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
