Lyics

LIFT up your heads, eternal gates,

Unfold, to entertain

The King of glory;--see, he comes

With his celestial train.



"Who is this King of glory?--Who?"

The Lord, for strength renown'd;

In battle mighty,--o'er his foes

Eternal Victor crown'd.



Lift up your heads, eternal gates,

Unfold, to entertain

The King of glory;--see, he comes

With all his shining train.



"Who is this King of glory?--Who?"

The Lord of hosts renown'd;

Of glory he alone is King,

Who is with glory crown'd.
