The Ascension of the King

Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.

Clap your hands, all peoples!
God has gone up with a shout.
The great King reigns over the nations,
He sits on his holy throne.

The Lord dwells on high,
He has passed through the heavens,
putting everything in subjection
under his feet.

He is not ashamed to call us brothers
so, let us hold fast our confession.

Our eyes will behold the king in his beauty;
we will see a land that stretches afar.
Behold Zion, the city of our
appointed feasts!
