Tune: Truro
(one tune to 'Jesus shall reign where'er the sun')
Psalm 24
********
1. The earth it is the LORD's always
And its fullness to endless days
The whole world is His, it He made
All they that dwell there He arrayed
2. He founded it upon the seas
Creating it as He did please
Who shall ascend His holy hill
Those who have clean hands, pure heart still
3. They who have not soul up lifted
To vanity, nor deceit-led
Such who ascend His blessing may
Receive, they humbly watch and pray
4. And too righteousness they shall know
He His salvation shall them show
This the generation who do
Seek your face LORD, you them renew
5. Lift up your heads, ye glorious gates
The King of glory, He awaits
To enter in Jerusalem
There His people to dwell with them
6. And lift up, everlasting doors
The King of glory of all shores
Shall enter in, He strong, mighty
Mighty in battle, you shall see
7. Who is this King of glory here?
Worship Him now with godly fear
The LORD of hosts, this King is He
His kingdom come, eternal bliss
