Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room.
Let men their songs employ.
He comes to make His blessings flow.

A Living Pencil 
How silently, oh how silently,The wondrous gift is given!So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of his heaven.No ear may hear his coming,But in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive him stillThe dear Christ enters in.
Lift up your heads ye mighty gates! Behold the King of glory waits. The King of Kings is drawing near. The Savior of the world is here. Life and salvation He doth bring; Therefore rejoice and gladly sing. To God the Father raise Your joyful songs of praiseRedeemer come and open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! O enter with Thy grace divine Thy face of mercy on me shine. Thy Holy Spirit guide us on Until our glorious goal is won. Eternal praise and fame We offer to Thy name.Lift Up Your Heads Ye Mighty Gates vs 1&5I hope it comes through ok. This was one that we sang when the kids were little and the Advent wreath lit. God’s blessings to you Carol!
