John Mason Neale was a prolific poet and writer. His poem, A Day, A Day of Glory celebrates the announcement of the birth of the long awaited Saviour. His words are based on Psalm 24:7-10 :

Lift up your heads, O gates;

be lifted, you ancient portals,

that the king of glory may enter.

Who is this king of glory?

The LORD, strong and mighty,

the LORD, mighty in war.

Lift up your heads, O gates;

rise up, you ancient portals,

that the king of glory may enter.

Who is this king of glory?

The LORD of hosts, he is the king of glory.

Neale is best know for his iconic Christmas carols O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Good King Wenceslas.

The angelic Christmas carol Gloria in Excelsis Deo, plays in the background of this video accompanied by the joyful tolling of cathedral bells.

Wishing you a blessed Advent and Christmas season!
