THE GATE BEAUTIFUL

Grace K. Sticht

Let us go up together into the temple
At the hour of prayer.
Hearts filled
With joyous, quickening faith,
With rich, outpouring love
For every child of God.

Like Peter and John
We, today,
The humble followers of the selfless Christ,
May enter our churches,
Laying aside all selfish care,
And bring with us
The precious treasure
Of God's healing love.

Oh, may our thought be pure,
So filled with truth,
The lame, the sick, the burdened ones
Will feel
The liberating presence
Of the living Christ
And rise
Newborn!
