quote · Legacy record
Lift up your heads, ye everlasting gates, And give the King of glory to come in; Who is the King of glory? He who left His throne of glory for the pang of death; Lift up your heads, ye everlasting gates, And give the King of glory to come in; Who is the King of glory? He who slew The ravenous foe that gorged all human race! The King of glory, He whose glory filled Heaven with amazement at His love to man, And with divine complacency beheld Powers most illumined wildered in the theme.
