143. King of Glory, Set on High

7s.
by R.C. Chapman
1
King of glory, set on high,
 
Girt with strength and majesty,
 
We Thy holy name confess;
 
Thee with adoration bless.
“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.” (Psalm 24:7-10)
“The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.” (Psalm 93:1)
2
Jesus, mighty Son of God!
 
Wondrous gift on man bestowed;
 
Many crowns are on Thy head,
 
Glorious Firstborn from the dead.
3
Gladly, Lord, we bow the knee,
 
By the Father’s just decree,
 
To His own anointed One;
 
To His well-belovèd Son.
