Burst, ye em'rald gates, and bring

Hymnal: Songs of Zion #37 (1821) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Burst ye emerald gates and bringTo my raptured visionAll the ecstatic joys, that springRound the bright elysian;Lo we lift our longing eyes,Break ye intervening skies;Sun of righteousness arise,Open the gates of paradise.2. Floods of everlasting lightFreely flash before him;Myriads with supreme delight,Instantly adore him:Angelic trumps resound his fame,Lutes of lucid gold proclaim,All the music of his name;Heaven echoing the theme.3. Four and twenty elders rise,From their princely station;Shout his glorious victories,Sing the great salvation;Cast their crowns before his throne,Cry in reverential tone,Glory be to God alone;Holy! holy! holy One.4. Hark! the thrilling symphoniesSeem, methinks, to seize us--Join we too their holy lays--Jesus – Jesus – Jesus!Sweetest sound in Seraph's song,Sweetest notes on mortal tongue,Sweetest carol ever sung--Jesus – Jesus flow along.
