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
