Lyrics

1. Open now your gates of beauty. Zion, let me enter there, where my soul in joyful duty waits for Him who answers prayer. O how blessed is this place, filled with solace, light and grace!
2. Yes, my God, I come before You; come now also down to me. Where we find You and adore You, there a heav'n on earth must be. Let my heart in meekness bow; let it be Your temple now.
3. Speak, O God, and I will hear You; let Your will be done indeed. May I undisturbed draw near You while You here Your people feed. Here the fount of life does flow, here is balm for all our woe.
4. Lord, my faith increase and quicken, let me keep Your gift divine. When temptations round me thicken, may Your word still o'er me shine as a polestar thro' my life, as my comfort in all strife.
