the world and all its peoples.

It is he who set it on the seas;

on the waters he made it firm.

Ant. Alleluia, come, let us worship Christ the Lord as he ascends into heaven, alleluia.

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?

Who shall stand in his holy place?

The man with clean hands and pure heart,

who desires not worthless things,

who has not sworn so as to deceive his neighbor.

Ant. Alleluia, come, let us worship Christ the Lord as he ascends into heaven, alleluia.

He shall receive blessings from the Lord

and reward from the God who saves him.

Such are the men who seek him,

seek the face of the God of Jacob.

grow higher, ancient doors.

Let him enter, the king of glory!

grow higher, ancient doors.

Let him enter, the king of glory!

He, the Lord of armies,

he is the king of glory.

as it was in the beginning, is now,

and will be for ever. Amen.
