LyicsO blest the souls, for ever blest,
Where God as sovereign is confest!
O happy hearts, the blessed homes
To which the King in glory comes!
Fling wide thy portals, O my heart!
Be thou a temple set apart;
So shall thy Sovereign enter in,
And new and nobler life begin.
Deliverer, come! we open wide
Our hearts to thee, here, Lord, abide!
Let all thy glorious presence feel;
Thou--King of saints! thyself reveal.
