English.png English translation

Heaven, open your gates,
Lord, we pray you, come to us.
Come, our most mighty Lord,
Merciful Saviour of the people.
Let Heaven drop dew on us
When our hearts yearn.
You gates of Heaven, open,
That the Redeemer may come.
Why, Lord, do you still delay?
Have you ceased to love us
Come, pardon and give strength
That the Father may console us all.
People, do homage to the Lord
And remember eternal life,
For God Himself has heard you
As the Redeemer has come.

translation by Mick Swithinbank
