King of Glory

.
The King of glory comes,
the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
lift up your voices.

Who is the King of glory;
how shall we call him?
He is Emmanuel,
the promised of ages.

The King of glory comes,
the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
lift up your voices.

In all of Galilee,
in city or village,
He goes among his people
curing their illness.

The King of glory comes,
the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
lift up your voices.

Sing then of David’s Son,
our Savior and brother;
In all of Galilee
was never another.

The King of glory comes,
the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
lift up your voices.

He gave his life for us,
the pledge of salvation,
He took upon himself
the sins of the nation.

The King of glory comes,
the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
lift up your voices.

He conquered sin and death;
he truly has risen,
And he will share with us
his heavenly vision.

The King of glory comes,
the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
lift up your voices.
