8.8.8.8 James Montgomery For Ascension Day. -- Ps. xxiv. 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 spoil'd 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. Who is the King of Glory? -- who? The Lord of Hosts;-behold His name; The kingdom, power, aad honour due, Yield Him, ye saints! with glad acclaim. |
