The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10984

10984. Who Is The King Of Glory?

1 Lift up your heads, ye gates eternal,
The King of Glory enters in,
Ascending to the throne supernal,
The conqueror of death and sin.

Refrain:
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!

2 ’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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
