Lift Up Your Heads, Eternal Gates!

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.
