Notes TRURO. L. M. Translated by Catherine Winkworth, 1855 (1829-1878) Text from Psalm 24 Music from Thomas Williams' Psalmodia Evamgelica, 1790
Lyrics Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates, Behold, the King of glory waits; The King of kings is drawing near; The Saviour of the world is here! 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. Redeemer, come, we open wide Our hearts to Thee; here, Lord, abide. Thine inner presence let us feel; Thy grace and love in us reveal. Amen.
