The golden gates are lifted up

1.

The golden gates are lifted up

The doors are opened wide;

The King of glory is gone in

Unto His Father’s side

2.

Thou art gone up before us, Lord

To make for us a place

That we may be where now Thou art

And see Thee face to face

3.

And ever on our earthly path

A gleam of glory lies;

A light still breaks behind the cloud

That veiled Thee from our eyes

4.

Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds;

Let Thy dear grace be given,

That, while we wander here below

Our Treasure be in Heaven

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
