Open Wide the Gates (Matthew 21:1-22)

Open wide the gates to let our Savior in!
He comes the mighty King, the conqueror of sin.
Upon a donkey mounted, He,
In meekness and humility,
The carpenter of Galilee,
And emperor of all the universe’s hosts.

Lay out then your cloak for Him to walk upon,
And bare yourself in honor of the coming Son.
Give back to Him what He first gave,
Your treasures at His feet you lay,
As praise to God who came to save,
In concert with the praises of the heavenly hosts.

Raise your voices, instruments to glorify,
And spread the name of Jesus as He passes by;
Who is this man who comes?
The great, eternal Son,
The King of Creation,
The Savior of the world, His children’s only boast.
