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 renowned;
In battle mighty; o’er His foes
Eternal Victor crowned.
Lift up your heads, ye gates! unfold
In state 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 renowned:
Of glory He alone is King,
Who is with glory crowned.
(Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady)
