STANZA 1
The earth, with all that dwell therein,
with all its wealth untold,
belongs to GOD who founded it
upon the seas of old.
STANZA 2
What man shall stand before the LORD
on Zion’s holy hill?
The clean of hand, the pure of heart,
the just who do His will.
STANZA 3
Lo, such are they that seek for God,
and blest by Him they live;
to them His perfect righteousness
the GOD of grace will give.
STANZA 4
Ye everlasting doors, give way;
lift up your heads, ye gates!
For now, behold, to enter in
the King of glory waits.
STANZA 5
Who is this glorious King that comes
to claim His sov’reign right?
It is the LORD omnipotent,
all conqu’ring in His might.
STANZA 6
Ye everlasting doors, give way;
lift up your heads, ye gates!
For now, behold, to enter in
the King of glory waits.
STANZA 7
Who is this glorious King that comes
to claim His rightful throne?
The LORD of hosts, He is the King
of glory, God alone.
—The Psalter, 1912
