Psalm 24A: Psalm 24

Varina, C.M.D. [B flat]

1. 1 The earth belongeth to the LORD,
And all that it contains;
The world that is inhabited
And all that there remains.
2 For He upon the waters vast
Did its foundation lay;
He firmly has established it
Upon the floods to stay.

2. 3 Who is the man that shall ascend
Into the hill of GOD?
Or who within His holy place
Shall have a firm abode?
4 Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure,
And unto vanity
Who has not lifted up his soul,
Nor sworn deceitfully.

3. 5 This is the man who shall receive
The blessing from the LORD;
The God of his salvation shall
Him righteousness accord.
6 Lo, this the generation is
That after Him inquire,
O Jacob, who do seek Thy face
With all their heart's desire.

4. 7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
Ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
Of glory enter may.
8 But who of glory is the King?
The mighty LORD is this;
Ev'n that same LORD that great in might
And strong in battle is.

5. 9 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
Ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
Of glory enter may.
10 But who is He that is the King
Of glory? Who is this?
The LORD of Hosts and He alone
The king of glory is.
