Listen with Heart and Soul

The morning stars sang together and all of us shouted for joy. (repeat)

Now listen with heart and soul to the song of thy spirit singing, the voice of Gabriel ringing:

"Awake, for lo, the morning light has broken."

"Arise, for His Cause is made manifest! The Portal of His grace is open wide!" True Love!

2.

The Gate of God is open now with Power and all Glory. (repeat)

Excitement, joy and awe and wonder stirred the depths of my soul,

And "wonder stirred the depths of my soul"!

Enter therein, O peoples of the world, for He Who is your Promised One is come!

The portal of His grace is opened wide. True Love! True Love!

3.

The knowledge of His Revelation astounded my whole being. (repeat)

Emotions of gladness and strength seemed to have transformed, seemed to have transformed me!

Peace, peace, praise to Thee, O God, Lord of all creatures and of all beings!

The portal of His grace is open wide! True Love! True Love!

4.

So enthralled was I by the music of His enchanting voice. (repeat)

Infinite Realms of Light glorified His Presence, glorified His Presence!

Paradise, I was experiencing that night, all delights, all the ineffable glories!

The portal of His grace is opened wide. True Love! True Love!

5.

Verily, verily, the dawn of a new day has broken. (repeat)

The promised One is enthroned in the hearts of men.

In His hand He holds the mystic cup, the chalice of immortality

Blessed are they who drink therefrom! (repeat)

The portal of His grace is open wide. True Love! True love!
