Draw nigh to thy Jerusalem, O Lord;

Verse 1
Draw nigh to thy Jerusalem, O Lord;
Thy faithful people cry with one accord,
Ride on in triumph, Lord; behold, we lay
Our passions, lusts, and proud will in thy way.

Thy road is ready; and Thy paths, made straight,
With longing expectation seem to wait
The consecration of Thy beauteous feet,
And silently thy promised advent greet.

The consecration of Thy beauteous feet,
And silently thy promised advent greet.
Verse 3
Hosanna! welcome to our hearts! for here
Thou hast a temple too, as Zion dear,
O enter in, dear Lord! unbar the door,
And in that temple dwell for evermore.

O enter in, dear Lord! unbar the door,
And in that temple dwell for evermore.
