Who Is the King of Glory?

Lift up your heads

ye gates eter­nal

The King of Glo­ry en­ters in

Ascending to the throne su­per­nal

The con­quer­or of death and sin.

Who is the King of Glo­ry?

He who ov­er­came our ene­my;

Who took our place at judg­ment bar

And made His cross the vic­tor’s car;

He is the King of Glo­ry!

He is the King of Glo­ry!

’Tis He who this round world hath found­ed

And stab­lished it up­on the flood;

And Sa­tan’s hosts He hath con­found­ed

When on the cross He shed His blood.

Who shall ap­proach His ho­ly mount­ain

Or stand with­in His ho­ly place?

E’en he who bathed in Cal­va­ry’s fount­ain

Hath been re­deemed by Heav­en’s grace.

The eye of faith e’en now dis­cern­eth

The King up­on His Fa­ther’s throne

And waits the hour when He re­turn­eth

To take the king­dom for His own.
