Behold the King of glory waits!
The King of kings is drawing near;
The Savior of the world is here.
2 O blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the ruler is contest!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King of triumph comes!
3 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.
4 Come, Savior, come with us abide;
Our hearts to you we open wide:
Your Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until our glorious goal is won. Topics: Advent 4, Year A; Advent; Christmas Season; Passion Sunday (Palm Sunday); Christ the King; Gathering; Grace; Jesus Christ; Love for God; Petition; Second Coming Scripture: Psalm 24:7-10 Languages: English
