Fling Wide The Gates! I Hear The Angels Singing,
Fling Wide The Gates! I Hear Bright Music Ringing;
A Warrior Soul From This Poor World Is Winging
Toward The Glory Of The Golden Strand.
Toil And Fear, A Soldier’s Spear,
Left Behind The Grave, Proved His Power To Save;
Hear The Crowned The Anthem Swell,
“Conqueror Over Death And Hell.”
Fling Wide The Gates! A Life Of Warfare Ended;
Fling Wide The Gates! A Soldier Brave Ascended;
Life’s Battle Won, The Cause Of Christ Defended,
More Than Conqueror Through The Power Of God.
With A Bound At Trumpet Sound,
From Its Bond Of Clay, Winged His Soul Away;
Hear The Crowned The Anthem Swell,
“Conqueror Over Death And Hell.”
Fling Wide The Gates! Through Christ His Work Accomplished;
Fling Wide The Gates! His Toils For Others Finished;
Laid Down The Sword, The Cross For Crown Relinquished,
Hallelujahs Fill The Earth And Sky.
Struggling Hard And Battle-Scarred,
Makes The Golden Shore, Greets Those Gone Before;
Hear The Crowned The Anthem Swell,
“Conqueror Over Death And Hell.”
Fling Wide The Gates! With Hearts Of Glory Brilliant;
Fling Wide The Gates! His Entry Made Abundant:
Triumphant Soul, With Escort Host Resplendent,
Stands Before The Holy Throne Of God.
Burning Brand In Every Land
Blazed A Holy Trail, Heaven And Earth Do Hail!
Hear The Crowned The Anthem Swell,
“Conqueror Over Death And Hell.”
