Last Line: Having kept the truth, may enter in
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Salvation


Hark! the Alleluias of the great salvation,
Still beginning, never ending, still begin.
The thunder of an endless adoration:
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation
Which have kept the truth may enter in.

Roll ye back, ye pearls, on your twelvefold station:
No more deaths to die, no more fights to win I
Lift your heads, ye gates, that the righteous nation,
Led by the Great Captain of their sole salvation.
Having kept the truth, may enter in.
