Lift up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates
Author: George Weissel, 1590-1635 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 275 hymnals First Line: Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!
Behold the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near,
The Savior of the world is here;
Life and salvation He doth bring,
Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing:
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried,
Mercy is ever at His side;
His kingly crown is holiness,
His scepter, pity in distress,
The end of all our woe He brings:
Wherefore the earth is glad and sings:
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
3 Oh, blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the Ruler is confest!
Oh, happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!
The cloudless Sun of joy He is,
Who bringeth pure delight and bliss.
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
4 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:
So shall your Sovereign enter in,
And new and nobler life begin.
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
5 Redeemer, come! I open wide
My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide?
Let me thine inner presence feel,
Thy grace and love in me reveal;
Thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until our glorious goal be won.
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.

Lord, It Is Good for Us To Be
Author: Arthur Penrhyn Stanley Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it is good for us to be
High on the mountain here with Thee,
Where stand revealed to mortal gaze
Those glorious saints of other days,
Who once received on Horeb's height
Th'eternal laws of truth and right,
Or caught the still small whisper, higher
Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire.
2 Lord, it is good for us to be
Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee;
And watch Thy glistering raiment glow
Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow,
The human lineaments that shine
Irradiant with a light divine:
Till we too change from grace to grace,
Gazing on that transfigured face.
3 Lord, it is good for us to be
Here on the holy mount with Thee;
When darkling in the depths of night,
When dazzled with excess of light,
We bow before the heavenly voice
That bids bewildered souls rejoice,
Though love wax cold, and faith be dim:
"This is my Son; O hear ye Him!"
Amen. Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals; Transfiguration; Christ Transfiguration on; Transfiguration of Christ Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Used With Tune: GÖR PORTEN HÖG, GÖR DÖRREN BRED
