Lyrics
Who is this king of Glory?
So strong and mighty
Who is this king of Glory?
So strong and mighty
Who is this king of Glory?
So strong and mighty
We cry Holy Holy
And as the train of His robe fills this temple
We cry Holy Holy
And as the train of His robe fills this temple
We cry Holy Holy
And as the train of His robe fills this temple
We cry Holy Holy
We cry Holy Holy

Meaning & Inspiration
“Train of His Robe” is a compact worship song built from biblical images of God’s kingship and holiness. Its opening question names the King of glory as strong and mighty, establishing awe before moving into repeated cries of “Holy.” The repetition is central to the song’s form: rather than developing a narrative, it lingers over a vision of divine majesty filling the place of worship.
The question about the King of glory closely follows Psalm 24:8, which answers that the Lord is strong and mighty. The image of a robe filling the temple and the repeated acclamation of holiness draw from Isaiah 6:1-3, where the prophet sees the Lord enthroned, the temple filled by his robe, and heavenly beings declaring him holy. By joining these passages, the lyrics present worship as a response to who God is. Strength, kingship, holiness, and manifest presence converge in a brief corporate confession focused entirely on God’s greatness.
