- 1Come, let us lift our joyful eyes,
- Up to the courts above,
- And smile to see the Father there,
- Upon a throne of love.
- Now we may bow before his feet,
- And venture near the Lord:
- No fiery cherub guards his seat,
- Nor double flaming sword.
- 2The peaceful gates of heavenly bliss
- Are opened by the Son;
- High let us raise our notes of praise,
- And reach the almighty throne.
- To thee ten thousand thanks we bring,
- Great Advocate on high,
- And glory to the eternal King,
- Who lays his anger by.
