Emmanuel Choir - Processional to Calvary
Fling wide the gates
For the Saviour waits to tread in His royal way
He has come from above in His power and love, to die on this Passion day
Fling wide the gates
The Saviour waits
Fling wide the gates
The Saviour waits to tread in His royal way
His cross is the sign of the love divine
His crown is the thorn-wreath of woe
He lays is load on the sorrowful road
And bends 'neath the burden throne
Fling wide the gates
He waits! The Saviour waits
Fling wide the gates, for the Saviour waits to tread in His royal way
He has come from above in His power and love, to die on this Passion day
To die on this Passion day
How sweet is the grace of his sacred face
And lovely beyond compare
Though weary and worn
With the merciless scorn
Of a world He has come to spare
The burden of wrong
That earth bears along
Past evil and evil to be
All Sins of Man
Since the world began
They are laid
Dear Lord
On Thee
Then on to the end
My God and my Friend
With Thy Banner lifted high
Thou art come from above
In thy power and love
To endure and suffer and die
Fling wide the gates
He waits! The Saviour waits
Then on to the end
My God and my Friend
To suffer, endure, and die
To suffer, endure, and die
