Fling wide the portals of your heart:
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for heaven�s employ,
Adorned with prayer and love and joy.

Redeemer, come!  I open wide
My heart to Thee: here Lord, abide!
Let me Thy inner presence feel:
Thy grace and love in me reveal.

Verse 5:

So come, my Sovereign, enter in!
Let new and nobler life begin!
Thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until the glorious crown be won.
