Gates of the beautiful, golden and bright, Refrain Gates ajar for me, beautiful gates ajar for me; Gates of the beautiful, lofty and grand, Refrain Gates of the beautiful, gates of pure gold, Refrain
Guarding that city of splendor and light;
Oft I behold thee, in distance and dream,
Flash in the sunlight of heavenly gleam.
City of gold with joys untold,
Beautiful gates ajar for me.
Swung by the touch of some bright angel hand;
Down form the portals there floats a sweet song,
Waked by the lips of the purified throng.
How can I picture your glories untold?
Eagerly yearning my spirit doth wait
Till I shall come to the beautiful gate.
