LyicsOUR Lord is risen from the dead,
Our Saviour is gone up on high;
The powers of hell are captive led,
Dragged to the portals of the sky.
There his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay;
"Lift up your heads, you heavenly 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;
Who sin and death and hell o'erthrew
And Jesus is the Conqueror's name.
Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, you heavenly gates;
You everlasting doors, give way."
Who is the King of glory-who?
The Lord, of boundless might possessed;
The King of saints and angels, too-
Lord over all, forever blest.
