And angels chant the solemn lay:

Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates,

Ye everlasting doors, give way.

3 Loose all your bars of massy light,

And wide unfold the radiant scene;

He claims those mansions as his right;

Receive the King of glory in.

4 Who is the King of glory, who?

The Lord that all his foes o’ercame,

The world, sin, death, and hell o’erthrew;
