Devotion for Saturday/Sunday: The King of Glory Comes

The King of Glory Comes

The King of glory comes,
the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him,
lift up your voices.

 Who is the King of glory;
how shall we call him?
He is Emmanuel,
the promised of ages.

 In all of Galilee,
in city or village,
He goes among his people
curing their illness.

 Sing then of David’s Son,
our Savior and brother;
In all of Galilee
was never another.

 He gave his life for us,
the pledge of salvation,
He took upon himself
the sins of the nation.

 He conquered sin and death;
he truly has risen,
And he will share with us
his heavenly vision.
