Hymn 281. King Of Glory, King Of Peace.

"King of Glory, King of Peace" is a profound hymn of personal dedication and praise. The words carry a deep sense of intimacy with God, moving from a simple declaration of love to a recognition of His boundless mercy. When we sing it, we are making a personal vow to love, sing, and praise the Lord with our "utmost art" and our whole heart.

In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully as an Offertory or Recessional hymn. The melody is steady and resolute, allowing the congregation to easily join in the prayer. The progression from acknowledging God's forgiveness—"Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me"—to the final realization that even eternity is too short to fully extol Him, makes it a deeply moving experience for both the singers and the faithful in the pews.
