Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #269 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead;:
Our Jesus is gone up on high;
The powers of hell are captive led,
Dragged to the portals of the sky,
Dragged to the portals of the sky.
2 There His triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
Ye everlasting doors, give way!
Ye everlasting doors, give way!
3 Loose all your bars of massy light,
And wide unfold the radiant scene;
He claims these mansions as His right;
Receive the King of glory in!
Receive the King of glory in!
4 Who is the King of Glory, who?
The Lord who all our foes o'ercame;
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew;
And Jesus is the Conqueror's name,
And Jesus is the Conqueror's name.
Amen.
