Lift up your heads, O ye gates!
Even lift them up ye everlasting doors.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates
And be ye lift up, and be lift up ye everlasting doors.
And the King of Glory shall come in,
And the King of Glory shall come in,
And the King of Glory shall come in,
And the King of Glory shall come in.
Who is the King?
Who is the King of glory?
Who is the King?
Who is the King of glory?
Who is the King?
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty!
The Lord, strong and mighty!
The Lord, strong and mighty!
The Lord of Hosts.
He is the King!
He is the King of Glory!
He is the King!
He is the King of Glory!
He is the King!
He is the King of Glory!
He is the King!
He is the King!
He is the King,
The Lord of Hosts.
Amen.
