68. The Earth, with All That Dwell Therein

1 The earth, with all that dwell therein,
with all its wealth untold,
belongs to God who founded it
Upon the seas of old.

2 What man shall stand before the Lord
on Zion's holy hill?
The clean of hand, the pure of heart,
the just who do his will.

3 Lo, such are they that seek for God,
and blest by him they live;
to them his perfect righteousness
the God of grace will give.

4 Ye everlasting doors, give way;
lift up your heads, ye gates!
For now, behold, to enter in
the King of glory waits.

5 Who is this glorious King that comes
to claim his sovereign right?
It is the Lord omnipotent,
all-conqu'ring in his might.

6 Ye everlasting doors, give way;
lift up your heads, ye gates!
For now, behold, to enter in
the King of glory waits.

7 Who is this glorious King that comes
to claim his rightful throne?
The Lord of Hosts, he is the King
of glory, God alone.
