Advent of Jesus · Hymn 382 · 8.8.8.8.7.7.6.6.8
Lift up your heads, eternal gates
“The Lord of host, he is the King of glory”. Ps. 24:10
1.
Lift up your heads, eternal gates
Ye everlasting doors, give way;
The King, the King of glory comes
Ascending to His throne today
Who is the King of glory
Who is the King of glory
It is the Lord of might
The Victor in the fight
Triumphant o’er the powers of night
2.
Lift up your heads, eternal gates
Ye gates of pearl and streets of gold
The King, the King of glory comes
Before His chariots wheels infold
Who is the King of glory
Who is the King of glory
The Lord of hosts is He
The God of Majesty
He is the King eternally
3.
Now with the Father God most high
And with the Spirit, ever one
The angels own the Christ, the King
And bow before His shinning throne
He is the King of glory
He is the King of glory
Him let all earth adore
To him our praises pour
For ever and for evermore
Amen
