What further Witnesses?

"Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle... The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah" (Psalm 24:7-10). "Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?" (Mark 14:61-63).

Who is this King of glory indeed?
Lift up your heads to our Lord glorified!
What further witnesses do we yet need?
Prophets and history all testified!

Who is this King of glory we see,
So mighty in battle and glorious in praise?
It's Jesus, who died for you and for me,
The Son of man coming, the Ancient of Days.

Who is this King who's coming again
With all of His blood-bought host He will lead?
Even so come, Lord Jesus, Amen!
What further witnesses do we yet need?
