The day, the gospel day draws nearer
When sinners shall their voices raise,
Sing the New Song with heart sincere,
Triumphant in the land of praise.
Glory to God! they all shall cry:
Who is so great a God as ours!
We have a City strong and high,
Salvation is for walls and tow'rs.
Secure from danger, as from dread.
We never shall be put to shame,
Who hither have for refuge fled;
For Jesus is our City's name.
Open the gates, and open wide,
Let every faithful soul go in;
Open for all the justifi'd.
Who keep the truth that frees from sin.
