The Glorious Gates of Righteousness

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: Lowell Mason, 1837

The glo­ri­ous gates of right­eous­ness

Throw op­en un­to me

And I will en­ter them with praise

O Lord

my God

to Thee

And I will en­ter them with praise

O Lord

my God

to Thee.

This is Thy tem­ple gate

O Lord

The just shall en­ter there;

My Sav­ior

I will give Thee thanks

O Thou

that hear­est pray­er

My Sav­ior

I will give Thee thanks

O Thou

that hear­est pray­er.

The stone re­ject­ed and des­pised

Is now the cor­ner­stone;

How won­drous are the ways of God

Unfathomed and un­known!

How won­drous are the ways of God

Unfathomed and un­known!

In this the day that Thou hast made

Triumphantly we sing;

Send now pros­pe­ri­ty

O Lord

O Lord

sal­va­tion bring

Send now pros­pe­ri­ty

O Lord

O Lord

sal­va­tion bring.

Hosanna! Ev­er blest be he

That com­eth in God’s name;

The bless­ing of Je­ho­vah’s house

Upon you we proc­laim;

The bless­ing of Je­ho­vah’s house

Upon you we pro­claim.

The light of joy to shine on us

The Lord our God has made;

Now be the pre­cious sac­ri­fice

Upon His al­tar laid;

Now be the pre­cious sac­ri­fice

Upon His al­tar laid.

O Lord

my God

I praise Thy name

All oth­er nam­es above;

O give Him thanks

for He is good

And bound­less is His love;

O give Him thanks

for He is good

And bound­less is His love.

O praise the Lord

for He is good;

Let all in Heav’n above

And all His saints on earth pro­claim

His ev­er­last­ing love;

And all His saints on earth pro­claim

His ev­er­last­ing love.
