Isaiah 60:11: Wherefore thy gates shall open stand

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Wherefore thy gates shall open stand,
By day and night immensely wide,
To' admit the crowds from every land,
The Gentile world's inflowing tide:
The nations shall in Christ believe.
Their kings thy willing converts be.
And brought within thy walls, receive
Their highest dignity from thee.
