O swing the gates wide op­en,
Ye an­gels fair and bright,
The King of glo­ry com­eth,
Triumphant in His might.

Refrain

Sing glo­ry, hal­le­lu­jah,
The night of death is past;
The re­sur­rec­tion morn­ing
Has dawned on us at last.
Sing glo­ry, hal­le­lu­jah,
The night of death is past;
The re­sur­rec­tion morn­ing
Has dawned on us at last.

Praise God! Sing hal­le­lu­jah!
The stone is rolled away;
Beyond the tomb is shin­ing
Hope’s glad eter­nal day.

Refrain

O swing the gates wide op­en,
Our long­ing eyes would see
The Christ who lives in Hea­ven
To plead for you and me.

Refrain

With songs of ado­ra­tion,
We haste to greet our king,
While thro’ the streets so gold­en
Loud hal­le­lu­jahs ring.
