Open to your people
the gates of righteousness,
that we may enter in
and give you thanks.
There we shall live
beneath your shadow,
flourish as a garden,
and blossom like a vine.
In your name we shall
welcome in the child--
the least among all will
be the greatest--
in your name welcome
in all who come;
Jesus, as we do, we
will be welcoming you.
