Melodies of Grace and Truth ‎#43

43. King of Glory

1 Lo! the Saviour now ascendeth,
He who died our souls to win;
Open wide, ye gates eternal,
Let the King of Glory in.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Spread His fame from shore to shore;
Christ ascendeth, glory, honour,
Be to Him forevermore.
King of kings, oh! wondrous story,
He hat conquered all our foes;
Christ, our lord, our Lord, the King of Glory:
First born from the dead arose.

2 First fruits of the resurrection,
Jesus lives, and we are free;
Saints and angels fall before Him,
He hat triumphed gloriously.
Christ the mighty work completed,
Ransomed us from Satan's power,
Now He reigns the King of glory,
Lives and reigns to die not more.
King of kings, oh! wondrous story,
He hat conquered all our foes;
Christ, our lord, our Lord, the King of Glory:
First born from the dead arose.

Worthy, worthy is the Lamb1
Hallelujah! Praise His name!
Glorify Him! magnify Him,
Our Redeemer, Lord, and King1
Worthy, worthy is the lamb!
Hallelujah! praise His name!
Glorify Him! magnify Him!
Our Redeemer, Lord and King!
Hallelujah!
