1. This earth belongs to God,

    the world, its wealth, and all its people;

    He formed the waters wide

    and fashioned every sea and shore.

    Who may go up the hill of the Lord

    and stand in the place of holiness?

    Only the one whose heart is pure,

    whose hands and lips are clean.

​

2. Lift high your heads, you gates;

    rise up, you everlasting doors,

    as here now the King of glory

    enters into full command.

    Who is the King, this King of glory,

    where is the throne he comes to claim?

    Christ is the King, the Lord of glory,

    fresh from his victory.
