O love past comprehending! III He was that God, for man which spake From Sinai forth in thunder; He was that Love, for man which brake The dreadful grave asunder. Lord over every lord, His consecrating word An earthly prince awaits; Lift then your heads, ye gates! Your King comes riding under. From Sinai forth in thunder; The dreadful grave asunder. Lord over every lord, His consecrating word An earthly prince awaits; Lift then your heads, ye gates! Your King comes riding under. IV Be ye lift up, ye deathless doors; Let wave your banners o'er Him! Exult, ye streets; be strewn, ye floors, With palm, with bay, before Him! With transport fetch Him in, Ye ransom'd folk from sin— Your Lord, return'd to bless! O kneeling king, confess— O subject men, adore Him! Let wave your banners o'er Him! With palm, with bay, before Him! With transport fetch Him in, Ye ransom'd folk from sin— Your Lord, return'd to bless! O kneeling king, confess— O subject men, adore Him! THREE MEN OF TRURO
