Author: Georg Weissel, 1590-1635; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #94 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, you mighty gates;
Behold, the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near;
The Savior of the world is here!
2 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.
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.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Praise; Holy Scripture; Jesus Advent and Nativity; Jesus King Scripture: Psalm 24 Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
