Fling wide the gates, unbar the ancient doors;
   salute your king in his triumphant cause!


1 Now all the world belongs to Christ our Lord:
let all creation greet the living Word!
   Fling wide the gates ...

2 Who has the right to worship him today?
All those who gladly serve him and obey.
   Fling wide the gates ...

3 He comes to save all those who trust his name,
and will declare them free from guilt and shame.
   Fling wide the gates ...

4 Who is the victor glorious from the fight?
He is our king, our life, our Lord, our right!
   Fling wide the gates ...
