Ye Gates of Peace and Joy Untold

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: William Boyce (1710–1779)

Ye gates of peace and joy un­told

Ye gates of right­eous­ness

un­fold

That I may en­ter in and raise

A song of thank­ful­ness and praise.

Within Thy gates

O God of grace

Thy saints shall find a dwell­ing place;

My thanks and praise to Thee I bear

My Sav­ior

who hast heard my pray­er.

What won­drous things the Lord hath wrought!

The stone the build­ers set at naught

Established by no hu­man hand

The chief­est cor­ner­stone doth stand.

In this the day the Lord hath made

To Him be joy­ful hon­ors paid;

Let us Thy full sal­va­tion see

O Lord

send now pros­per­ity.

Hosanna! Praise to Him pro­claim

Who cometh in Je­ho­vah’s name!

May bless­ing from God’s dwell­ing place

Descend on us in bound­less grace.
