Lyrics Lift up the gates of Praise, That we may enter in, And o'er salvation's wall proclaim That Christ redeems from sin. God's works reveal His might, His majesty and grace; But not the tender Father's love That saves a dying race. Then let the voice of praise To heav'nly courts ascend, Till with the songs the angels sing Our "Hallelujahs" blend. To Him that hath redeemed Our souls from sin's dark maze, The Hope and Savior of mankind, Be everlasting praise! Chorus: The stars may praise the Hand That decks the sky above; But, man alone can tell the pow'r Of Christ's redeeming love!
