O Zion, Open Wide Thy Gates (EN 3753)

EN 3753 O Zion, Open Wide Thy Gates

Luke.2.34

Versi Version 1

1

O Zion, open wide thy gates,

Let figures disappear;

A Priest and Victim, both in One,

The Truth Himself, is here.

2

No more the simple flock shall bleed;

Behold, the Father’s Son

Himself to His own altar comes

For sinners to atone.

3

Conscious of hidden deity,

The lowly virgin brings

Her newborn Babe, with two young doves,

Her humble offerings.

4

The aged Simeon sees at last

His Lord, so long desired,

And Anna welcomes Israel’s hope,

With holy rapture fired.

5

But silent knelt the mother blest

Of the yet silent Word,

And pondering all things in her heart,

With speechless praise adored.

6

All glory to the Father be,

All glory to the Son,

All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,

While endless ages run.
