Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #248 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 The glorious gates of righteousness
Throw open unto me,
And I will come to them with praise
O Lord, my God, to Thee,
And I will come to them with praise
O Lord, my God, to Thee.
2 This is Thy temple gate, O Lord,
The just shall enter there;
My Savior, I will give Thee thanks,
O Thou that hearest prayer,
My Savior, I will give Thee thanks,
O Thou that hearest prayer.
3 The stone rejected and despised
Is now the cornerstone;
How wondrous are the ways of God,
Unfathomed and unknown,
How wondrous are the ways of God,
Unfathomed and unknown!
4 In this the day that Thou hast made
Triumphantly we sing;
Send now prosperity, O Lord,
O Lord, salvation bring,
Send now prosperity, O Lord,
O Lord, salvation bring.
5 Hosanna! Ever blest be He
That cometh in God's Name,
The blessing of Jehovah's house
Upon you we proclaim,
The blessing of Jehovah's house
Upon you we proclaim.
6 The light of joy to shine on us
The Lord our God has made;
Now be the precious sacrifice
Upon His altar laid,
Now be the precious sacrifice
Upon His altar laid.
7 O Lord, my God, I praise Thy Name,
All other names above;
O give Him thanks, for He is good
And boundless is His love,
O give Him thanks, for He is good
And boundless is His love.
8 O praise the Lord, for He is good;
Let all in heaven above
And all His saints on earth proclaim
His everlasting love,
And all His saints on earth proclaim
His everlasting love. Topics: Praise for God's Works; Praise in Worship; Prosperity; Resurrection of Christ; Thanksgiving; Triumphal Entry; Wisdom of God Languages: English Tune Title: ZERAH
