How I love the pre­cious name,
Glory, glo­ry, glo­ry, glo­ry,
Unfold, to en­ter­tain
The Lord of hosts, and none but He
Christ was once a child like you,
Established it up­on the seas.
Pearly gates are op­ened, op­ened for the King;
O Je­ru­sa­lem,
Will be turned to joy and glad­ness,
Lift up your heads, ye gates eter­nal,

King of Glo­ry

Unto Him my praise I give,
Glory, bless­ing, praise eter­nal!
He comes, with His ce­les­ti­al train.
The Lord of hosts, and none but He
Ring, bells ring, Christ is King,
He’s the migh­ty King.
Is gone up in tri­umph, to His throne ab­ove.
Fling wide the gates,
When He comes.
Ascending to the throne su­per­nal,
