CHORUS OF ANGELS. The Earth is God’s; the fullness too
Of all that therein is;
Upon the floods he founded it,
And built it on the seas.
SEMI–CHORUS I. Who shall go up the hill of God,
And in his dwelling stand?
SEMI–CHORUS II. Even the man of pure intent
And undefiled hand.
CHORUS. Who hath not lifted up his heart
To trust in vanity;
Nor dealt untruly by his friend,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
The family of Israel,
The men who seek his face,
These shall be blest and righteous held
Before the God of Grace.
SEMI–CHORUS I. Lift up your heads, ye gates,
And be ye lifted up,
Ye everlasting doors;
And the King of Glory shall come in.
SEMI–CHORUS II. Who is the King of Glory?
SEMI–CHORUS I. Jehovah strong and mighty,
Jehovah strong in battle.
SEMI–CHORUS II. Lift up your heads, ye gates,
And be ye lifted up,
Ye everlasting doors;
And the King of Glory shall come in.
SEMI–CHORUS I. Who is the King of Glory?
CHORUS. Jehovah of Sabaoth,
He is the King of Glory.
