- 1 The earth is all the Lord’s, with all
- her store and furniture:
- Yea, his is all the world, and all
- that therein doth enquire.
-
- 2 For he hath fastly founded it,
- above the sea to stand:
- And laid a-low the liquid floods,
- to flow beneath the land.
-
- 3 For who is he, O Lord, that shall
- ascend into thy hill?
- And pass into thy holy place,
- there to continue still?
-
- 4 Whose hands are harmless, and whose
- heart,no spot there doth defile:
- His soul not set on vanity,
- who hath not sworn to guile.
-
- 5 Him that is such a one, the Lord
- shall place in blissful plight:
- And God his God and Savior,
- shall yield to him his right.
-
- 6 This is the brood of travelers
- in seeking of his grace:
- As Jacob did the Israelites,
- in that time of his race.
-
- 7 Ye Princes open your gates, stand open
- the everlasting gate:
- For there shall enter in thereby
- the king of glorious state.
-
- 8 What is the king of glorious state?
- the strong and mighty Lord:
- The mighty Lord in battle stout,
- and trial of the sword.
-
- 9 Ye Princes open your gates, stand open
- the everlasting gate:
- For there shall enter in thereby
- the King of glorious state,
-
- 10 What is the King of glorious state?
- the Lord of hosts he is:
- The kingdom and the royalty
- of glorious state is his.
