Transcription
Great monarch of the world whose people doe
Give homage to the & for earth fulness too
Who on the liquid floods did please
To set its Pillers & in deepest seas
Laid its foundations who then shal clime
This hill of wonder or reach this place deuine
He He shal do't whose hand & hart is pure
Who noe reward can tempt or vanity alure
He shal the wreath of victory obtaine
And from thy hand ô Lord saluation gaine
Lift then vp ye heads yee Gaites of Hope
Ye euerlasting doores of joy flie op'e

The Lord of battles that's both strong & stout

As armes streched out receaue you hi in
Wth Acclamation this ye glorious King
Who's this King of glory shew shew't that wee
May giue him glorry, the Lord of Host is he,
Modernized Text
Great monarch of the world whose people do
Give homage to thee and for earth's fulness too,
Who on the liquid floods did please
To set its pillars and in deepest seas
Laid its foundations! Who then shall climb
This hill of wonder or reach this place divine?
He, He shall do't whose hand & heart is pure,
Who no reward can tempt or vanity allure.
He shall the wreath of victory obtain
And from thy hand, oh Lord, salvation gain.
Lift then up the heads ye gates of Hope,
Ye everlasting doors of joy fly ope'
That he in state may enter in
Who is the sovereign Lord and Glorious King!
Who's this King of glory? He's no doubt
The Lord of battles that's both strong and stout!
Lift then up the heads ye gates of Hope
Ye everlasting doors of joy stand ope'
As arms stretched out receive you in
With acclamation this the glorious King!
Who's this King of glory? Show't that we
May give him glory! The Lord of Hosts is he!
