God of awe, God of might Grant us pardon in this hour, as Your gates are closed this night. We, who are few, raise our eyes to heaven's height trembling, fearful in our prayer, as Your gates are closed this night. Pouring out our soul we pray that the sentence You will write shall be one of pardoned sin, as Your gates are closed this night. Our refuge strong and sure rescue us from dreadful plight seal our destiny for joy, as Your gates are closed this night. Grant us favor, show us grace; but those who deny our right and oppress, be You be the judge, as Your gates are closed this night. Generations of our sires strong in faith walked in Your light As of old, renew our days, as Your gates are closed this night. Gather Judah's scattered flock unto Zion's rebuilt site Bless this year with grace divine, as Your gates are closed this night. May we all, both old and young, look for gladness and delight in the many years to come, as Your gates are closed this night. Michael, prince of Israel, Gabriel, Your angels bright with Elijah, come, redeem, as Your gates are closed this night.
