24 (2) | Psalm 24 Version 2 | CM | |
OUR Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led Dragged to the portals of the sky. |
|||
2 | There His triumphal chariot waits, And mighty angel voices say: ‘Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates, Ye everlasting doors, give way!’ |
||
3 | Roll back the bounds of mortal sight, And wide unfold the heavenly scene; He claims those mansions as His right: Receive the King of Glory in. |
||
4 | ‘Who is the King of Glory, Who?’ The Lord Who all His foes o’ercame; The world, sin, death, and hell o’erthrew, And Jesus is the Conqueror’s name. |
||
5 | ‘Who is the King of Glory, Who?’ The Lord of glorious power possessed, The King of saints and angels too: God over all, for ever blessed! |
