Fling Wide the Door

Fling wide the door

un­bar the gate;

The King of glo­ry comes in state;

The Lord of lords and King of kings

The Sav­ior of the world who brings

His great sal­va­tion to the earth.

So raise a shout of ho­ly mirth

And praise our God and Lord

Creator

Spir­it Word.

He is the rock of our be­lief

The heart of mer­cy’s gen­tle self.

His king­ly crown is ho­li­ness;

His scep­ter is his love­li­ness;

He brings our sor­rows to an end.

Now glad­ly praise our king and friend

And wor­ship him with song

For sav­ing us from wrong.

O

hap­py towns and bless­èd lands

That live by their true king’s com­mands

And blessed be the hearts he rules

The hum­ble places where he dwells.

He is the right­ful Son of bliss

Who fills our lives and makes us his

Creator of the world

Our on­ly strength for good.

Come

Lord

our Sav­ior

Je­sus Christ;

Our hearts are op­en wide in trust.

Oh

show us now your love­ly grace

Upon our sor­rows shine your face

And let your Holy Spir­it guide

Our jour­ney in your grace so wide.

We praise your ho­ly name

From age to age the same.
