The eternal gates lift up their heads

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The eternal gates lift up their heads, The doors are opened wide, The King of glory is gone up Unto his Father's side. 2 And ever on our earthly path A gleam of glory lies, A light still breaks behind the cloud That veils thee from our eyes. 3 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds, And let thy grace be given, That, while we live on earth below, Our treasure be in heaven; 4 That, where thou art at God's right hand, Our hope, our love may be: Dwell in us now, that we may dwell For evermore in thee.

O Vanquisher of pain! to know thee is eternal life, to serve thee is to reign. Used With Tune: CRUCIS VICTORIA
