LyicsOur Lord is risen from the dead,
Our Jesus is gone up on high;
The powers of hell are captive led,
Dragg'd to the portals of the sky.
There his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay-
"Lift up your heads, you heav'nly gates!
You everlasting doors give way!"
Loose all your bars of massy light,
And wide unfold the radiant scene;
He claims those mansions as his right-
Receive the King of glory in!
"Who is the King of glory?-Who?"
The Lord, who all his foes o'ercame;
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew,
And Jesus is the conqu'ror's name.
Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay;
"Lift up your heads, you heav'nly gates,
You everlasting doors give way!"
"Who is the King of glory?-Who?"
The Lord of boundless might possess'd,
The King of saints and angels too,
Lord over all, forever bless'd!
