318. Thoughts for the Sanctuary

1 The glorious gates of righteousness
Throw open unto me,
And I will come to them with praise
O Lord, my God, to Thee,
And I will come to them with praise
O Lord, my God, to Thee.

2 This is Thy temple gate, O Lord,
The just shall enter there;
My Saviour, I will give Thee thanks,
O Thou that hearest prayer,
My Saviour, I will give Thee thanks,
O Thou that hearest prayer.

3 The stone rejected and despised
Is now the cornerstone;
How wondrous are the ways of God,
Unfathomed and unknown!
How wondrous are the ways of God,
Unfathomed and unknown!

4 In this the day that Thou hast made
Triumphantly we sing;
Send now prosperity, O Lord,
O Lord, salvation bring,
Send now prosperity, O Lord,
O Lord, salvation bring.

5 Hosanna! Ever blest be He
That cometh in God's Name,
The blessing of Jehovah's house
Upon you we proclaim;
The blessing of Jehovah's house
Upon you we proclaim.

6 The light of joy to shine on us
The Lord our God hath made;
Now be the precious sacrifice
Upon His altar laid,
Now be the precious sacrifice
Upon His altar laid.

7 O Lord, my God, I praise Thy Name,
All other names above;
O give Him thanks, for He is good
And boundless is His love,
O give Him thanks, for He is good
And boundless is His love.
