Lyrics
Open, Open,
Open the gates of the Temple,
Open the gates of the Temple,
Open the gates of the Temple,
Strew palms on the Conqueror's way,
Open your hearts O ye people,
That Jesus may enter today.
Hark! from the sick and the dying,
Forgetting their couches of pain.
Voice, glad voices with rapture
Are swelling, are swelling,
Are swelling a glad refrain.
I know, I know, I know,
"I know that my Redeemeer liveth,"
Canst thou my heart, lift up thy voice,
Thy voice and sing I know,
Yes I know that my Redeemer liveth,
And because he lives,
And because he lives,
And because he lives,
I too, I too, I too shall live.
Open the gates of the Temple,
One grand hallelujah be heard.
Open your hearts to the Saviour,
Make room for the crucified Lord.
Tears and the anguish of midnight
Are lost in the splendour of day.
They who in sorrow once doubted
Are swelling, are swelling,
Are swelling a glad refrain.
They who in sorrow once doubted
Are swelling the glad, the glad, the glad refrain.
