Author: Arthur W. French Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1684 First Line: Gates of the beautiful, golden and bright Refrain First Line: Gates ajar for me, beautiful gates ajar for me Lyrics: 1. Gates of the beautiful, golden and bright,
Guarding that city of splendor and light;
Oft I behold thee, in distance and dream,
Flash in the sunlight of heavenly gleam.
Refrain
Gates ajar for me, beautiful gates ajar for me;
City of gold with joys untold,
Beautiful gates ajar for me.
2. Gates of the beautiful, lofty and grand,
Swung by the touch of some bright angel hand;
Down form the portals there floats a sweet song,
Waked by the lips of the purified throng. [Refrain]
3. Gates of the beautiful, gates of pure gold,
How can I picture your glories untold?
Eagerly yearning my spirit doth wait
Till I shall come to the beautiful gate. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Gates of the beautiful, golden and bright]
