48. Open Wide the Window

1 Leave off weeping, open wide the window,
Look tow’rd Jerusalem today;
Christ is risen, banishing the darkness,
Look tow’rd the Light, and pray.

Refrain:
Open wide the window,
Let the light shine in, let the light shine in,
Driving out our sadness,
Healing all the wounds of sin.

2 Leave off sighing, open wide the window,
Bid Jesus welcome, bid Him stay;
Joy the anthem, sing aloud Hosanna,
Look tow’rd the Light, and pray. [Refrain]

3 Singing, praying, open wide the window,
Peace to your soul His life will give;
Christ is risen! tell abroad the message,
Look tow’rd the Light, and pray. [Refrain]
