Unbar the gates and let us in; Unbar what once was lock and pin. Versus II As gentle dew from heaven fall, Descend, O Lord, and cover all. Ye rain clouds, break, and torrents bring; Let Israel receive his king. Versus III O Earth, in flow’r, in flow’r be seen! Let hill and dale be ever green. O Earth, bring forth one blossom rare, A Savior, from the meadow fair. Versus IV: Adagio Here suffer we a heavy, heavy doom, Before us yawns the cheerless, cheerless tomb. Ah, come lead us with steady hand, From exile to our native land. Versus V: Allegro So let us all be thanking Thee, For Thou hast ever set us free. So let us praise Thee o’er and o’er, From this time on and forevermore. Amen!
