307- The Time Is Near

MIDI MP3 Partition

1
The time is near when Zion's sons,
With rapturous joy shall sing the song
Foretold by seers—anointed ones:
We have a city great and strong,
We have a city great and strong.

2
Open, ye gates! The glorious King
Approaches with a holy throng;
Open, ye gates! Saints, angels, sing
On golden harps the victor's song!
On golden harps the victor's song!

3
O righteous nation! enter in,
That kept the law of truth below,
Enter the place, all free from sin,
Where life's pure waters gently flow.
Where life's pure waters gently flow.

4
Within these walls shall they remain,
Who trusted, mighty Lord! in Thee.
Death, their last enemy, is slain;
They have a right to life's fair tree.
They have a right to life's fair tree.
