At the "beautiful gate" of the temple,
As beggars and maimed we await
The hand of our healing Apostle,
The Lord of the "beautiful gate."
He cometh! he cometh! salvation revealing,
The Nazarene passeth this way;
He cometh! He cometh! his presence is healing,
He cometh! he cometh today!
From the "beautiful gate" of the temple
A gleam of his beauty we see;
Yet the light of his uttermost glory
Is hidden from thee and from me.
He cometh! he cometh! salvation revealing,
The Nazarene passeth this way;
He cometh! He cometh! his presence is healing,
He cometh! he cometh today!
Through the "beautiful gate" of the temple
The flood of hosannas we hear,
And we know, by the voices of triumph,
The step of our Healer is near.
He cometh! he cometh! salvation revealing,
The Nazarene passeth this way;
He cometh! He cometh! his presence is healing,
He cometh! he cometh today!
He is near! he is near! he is waiting,
By the gate of the temple he stands;
He touches the maimed, and exulting
We leap with the life from his hands.
He cometh! he cometh! salvation revealing,
The Nazarene passeth this way;
He cometh! He cometh! his presence is healing,
He cometh! he cometh today!
