2 Thy Zion palms is strewing Her anthem shall prepare; Of all our powers we bring. 3 O ye who sorrow, sinking Beneath your grief and pain, Who shall your souls sustain: 4 Ye who with guilty terror Are trembling, fear no more; The heirs of life and grace. 5 He comes, the Lord, to judgment; 158 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 6, 6. レ J. Stobæus, 1634 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates, Behold the King of glory waits; The King of kings is draw-ing near, The Sav-ior of the world is here. Life and salva-tion doth He bring, Wherefore rejoice and gladly sing: 2 The Lord is just, a helper tried, 3 O blest the land, the city blest What boundless grace is Thine! 9 4 Fling wide the portals of your heart, 5 Redeemer, come, I open wide 2 In earth's vale of sorrows the cold mists enshroud thee, And suffering and grief seem the portion allowed thee Yet, hear the glad message, That rescue doth presage, And pardon and peace Through Him who doth bring thee release. 3 In earth's dreary deserts the sharp thorns will wound thee, And often thou longest from ills that surround thee Yet, cease now thy sadness, 4 O lift up thine eyes now with hope unto heaven, Thy Lord let all blessing and honor be given, When hearts are convicted Of sin, and afflicted His welcome will rise In anthems of praise to the skies. 5 To God be all glory, who graciously sendeth From heaven His light; The way and the truth and the life my soul findeth, And peace is my right. O Christ, shine upon us! From death Thou hast won us To follow, O Lord, Thy steps in the light of Thy word. M. B. Landstad, 1861 26 नै |
