Lyics

Lift up your stately heads ye doors,

With hasty reverence rise,

Ye everlasting doors that guard the passage to the skies.



CHORUS

For see, for see the King of glory comes,

The King of glory comes

Along the eternal road,

For see the King, the King of glory comes,

The King of glory comes,

Along the eternal road.



Swift from your golden hinges leap,

Your barriers roll away,

And throw your blazing portals wide,

And burst the gates of day.
