- O Saviour, rend the heavens wide:
Come down, come down with mighty stride:
Unlock the gates, the doors break down;
Unbar the way to heaven's crown.
- O Morning Star, O Radiant Sun,
When will our hearts behold Your dawn?
O Sun, arise; without Your light
We grope in gloom and dark of night.
|
- Sin's dreadful doom upon us lies:
Grim death looms fierce before our eyes.
O, come, lead us with mighty hand
From exile to our promised land.
- There shall we all our praises bring
Ever to You, our Saviour King;
There shall we laud You and adore
Forever and forevermore.
