Alleluia, alleluia! Heaven's gates are open wide. Love has triumphed, and in glory Christ has reached the Godhead's side. Son of God, from God descending, born in great humility, far above all powers exalted, Christ now claims the victory. Alleluia, alleluia! Heaven's gates are opened wide, opened wide to all believers by the One we crucified. Death defeated, evil conquered, sinners freed from Satan's chain, Jesus Christ is ever-present, over heav'n and earth to reign. Alleluia, alleluia! Heaven's gates are opened wide. We, in heart and mind ascending, one with God in Christ abide. Height nor depth from love can part us; more than conquerors through this love, we now reign in life with Jesus, kings and priests below, above. Alleluia, alleluia! Heaven's gates are opened wide. From on high the King of glory stoops to choose the church as bride. Bathed, anointed by the Spirit, called to serve by faith, through grace; she now lives in all God's fullness, bearing joy to every race. Alleluia, alleluia! Heaven's gates are opened wide. Come, Lord Jesus, claim your kingdom, end the rule of sin and pride. You we offer our allegiance, you who brought all life to birth; though enthroned in highest heaven, you are here and fill the earth.
