Hymn 196: The golden gates, are lifted up,

Verse 1

The golden gates, are lifted up,

The doors are opened wide,

The of Glory is gone in

Unto His Father’s side.


Verse 2

Thou art gone up before us Lord,

To make for us a place.

That we may be where now Thou art [art,

And look upon God’s face.


Verse 3

And ever on our earthly path

A glean of glory lies,

A light still breaks behind the cloud

That veiled Thee from our eyes.


Verse 4

Lift up our hearts, lift up your minds,

Let Thy dear grace be given,

That while we wander here below,

Our treasure be in heaven;


Verse 5

That where Thou art, at God’s right

hand,

Our hope, our love, may be:

Dwell Thou in us, that we may [dwell

For evermore in Thee

Mrs. C. F. Alexander.
