1 O Savior, rend the heavens wide;
Come down, come down with mighty stride;
Unlock the gates, the doors break down;
Unbar the way to heaven’s crown.
2 O Morning Star, O Radiant Dawn,
When will our hearts behold your dawn?
O Sun, arise; without your light
We grope in gloom an dark of ight.
3 Sin's dreadful doom upon us lies;
Grim death looms fierce before our eyes.
Oh, come, lead us with mighty hand
From exile to our promised land.
4 There shall we all our praises bring
Ever to you, our Savior King;
There shall we laud you and adore
Forever and forevermore.
