Lift up your heads, ye gates! and wide
Your everlasting doors display:
Ye angel-guards, like flames divide,
And give the King of glory way.
Who is the King of glory?—He,
The Lord, omnipotent to save;
Whose own right arm, in victory,
Led captive Death, and spoiled the grave.
Lift up your heads, ye gates! and high
Your everlasting portals heave;
Welcome the King of glory nigh:
Him must the heaven of heavens receive.
