The King of Glory

Psalm xxiv

(Anthems for the Inauguration of Jerusalem)

I.—At the Foot of the Hill

first choir

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in His holy place?

second choir

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, And hath not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek after Him, That seek Thy face, O God of Jacob.

II.—Before the Gates

first choir

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of Glory shall come in.

second choir

Who is the King of Glory?

first choir

The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.

first choir

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of Glory shall come in.

second choir

Who is this King of Glory?

first choir

The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.
