Hymnal: Laudes Domini #467 (1884) First Line: Our Lord is risen from the dead 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
There his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates!
Ye everlasting doors! give way."
2 Loose all your bars of massy light,
And wide unfold the ethereal scene:
He claims these mansions as his right;
Receive the King of glory in.
Who is this King of glory--who?
The Lord who all our foes o'ercame;
Who sin, and death, and hell o'erthrew;
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.
3 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:--
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates!
Ye everlasting doors! give way."
Who is this King of glory--who?
The Lord of boundless power possessed;
The King of saints and angels, too,
God over all, for ever blessed. Languages: English Tune Title: Rex Gloriae
