King of Heaven, King of Glory
All Your works are arrayed before You
Subject to Your power and rule and reign
Yours the light that formed creation
Yours the word that spoke forth nations
Sovereign over all that You survey
So come and stand in the gap for the Lord of Hosts
All you warriors, be courageous
Gather to the Rock of Ages
His is love that’s worth the fighting for
And all you singers, raise your voices
To the one whose song rejoices
Over those who gather for His praise
And come and stand in the gap for the Lord of Hosts
God arise! God arise!
God arise and scatter all Your foes
God arise! God arise!
God arise and let Your name be known
