Swing Open, Fair Portals
Author: F. A. B. Hymnal: Carols of Hope #41 (1906) Hymnal Title: Carols of Hope First Line: Swing back for one moment, fair portals Lyrics: 1. Swing back for one moment, fair portals,
Of that wondrous city, we pray;
One glimpse, and the fears of these mortals
Shall vanish forever away.
Chorus:
Swing open, fair portals,
A moment, and let us look thro';
One glimpse, and we, faltering mortals,
To enter, shall press on anew.
2. One glimpse shall our courage embolden,
And brighten the whole of our way;
Oh, why should the sight be withholden?
By faith we would view it today.
Chorus:
Swing open, fair portals,
A moment, and let us look thro';
One glimpse, and we, faltering mortals,
To enter, shall press on anew.
3. We've read of that city's bright glory,
That knows not the darkness of night;
And reading that wonderful story,
Has ravished our souls with delight.
Chorus:
Swing open, fair portals,
A moment, and let us look thro';
One glimpse, and we, faltering mortals,
To enter, shall press on anew.
4. We've read of the Tree and the River,
Life's water and fruit ever fair;
We've look'd up in faith to the Giver,
And pray'd that we might enter there.
Chorus:
Swing open, fair portals,
A moment, and let us look thro';
One glimpse, and we, faltering mortals,
To enter, shall press on anew.
5. Those gates we're approaching, how cheering!
Oh, let us prove faithful alway;
And know as the city we're nearing,
That they shall to us some sweet day
Chorus: Swing open, those portals,
And we shall in triumph go in,
Where we shall as ransom'd immortals,
Eternity blessed begin. Languages: English Tune Title: [Swing back for one moment, fair portals]
