WAR SCROLL — COLUMN XIX THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US [Deep progressive guitars, solemn military brass, marching snares, thunderous live drums] [Verse 1 — The King of Glory] Contempt for the kings of the nations, Disdain for the mighty men, For our Majestic One is holy, The King of Glory stands with us! The host of His spirits goes with us, His mighty presence at our steps, Our horsemen like the clouds above, Like mist that covers all the earth. Like rain that steadily pours down, The judgment falls upon the land, For our Majestic One is holy, The King of Glory stands with us! [Chorus — Full brass, heavy guitars, male harmonies] THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! HIS HOLY HOST IS WITH OUR STEPS! HIS GLORY STANDS AMONG HIS PEOPLE! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! [Verse 2 — Rise Up, O Mighty One] Rise up, O Mighty Warrior! Take captives, O Glorious One! Take the spoil, O Mighty One, You who act with mighty strength! Set Your hand upon Your enemies, Your foot upon the fallen! Bring down the nations that oppose You, Let Your sword consume their flesh! [Verse 3 — Blessing Upon the Land] Fill Your land with glory, Your inheritance with blessing! Abundant cattle in the fields, Silver and gold within the palaces! Fill Your land with glory, Your inheritance with blessing! The mighty deeds belong to You, O Elohim of Israel! [Chorus — Heavy guitars, marching snares and triumphant brass] RISE UP, O MIGHTY ONE! RISE UP, O GLORIOUS ONE! FILL YOUR LAND WITH GLORY! YOUR INHERITANCE WITH BLESSING! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! [Verse 4 — Rejoice, O Zion] Rejoice greatly, O Zion! Rejoice, you cities of Judah! Open wide your gates forever, Let the nations bring their wealth! Their kings shall serve before you, Your former oppressors bow, They shall bow down before you, And lick the dust beneath your feet! O daughters of my people, Break forth in songs of joy! Adorn yourselves with glory, Rejoice in your inheritance! The kingdom and dominion, The promise for Israel, Israel shall reign forever, An everlasting dominion! [Chorus — Powerful male choir, massive brass] REJOICE, O ZION! REJOICE, O JUDAH! OPEN WIDE YOUR GATES! LET THE NATIONS BRING THEIR WEALTH! DAUGHTERS OF MY PEOPLE! LIFT YOUR VOICES IN JOY! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! [Verse 5 — The Night of Rest] That night they gather in the camp, And rest until the morning. When morning comes they shall return, To the place of the battle lines. Where the mighty Kittim fell, And the multitudes of Assyria, And all the nations gathered there, The armies standing with their forces. They come to view the fallen, Those struck by Elohim's sword, The multitude of the slain, With none remaining to bury them. [Verse 6 — The Chief Priest Returns] The chief priest comes with his deputy, His brothers, the priests, beside him, The Levites and the battle leader, The commanders of the fighting lines. The chiefs and all their officers, Together they approach the field, They stand before the fallen Kittim, And praise the Elohim of Israel! Their voices rise in thanksgiving, To the Elohim Most High, Before the fallen of the battle, They praise the Elohim of Israel! [Final Chorus — Modern rock band, full military brass and triumphant choir] THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! REJOICE, O ZION! REJOICE, O JUDAH! FILL YOUR LAND WITH GLORY! YOUR INHERITANCE WITH BLESSING! THE CHIEF PRIEST AND THE LEVITES! THE LEADERS OF THE BATTLE LINES! THEY PRAISE THE ELOHIM OF ISRAEL! THEY PRAISE THE ELOHIM MOST HIGH! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! THE KING OF GLORY IS WITH US! [Modern guitars soar over triumphant brass, marching snares resolve into a final sustained chord]
