About KING OF GLORY, KING OF PEACE.
"King of Glory, King of Peace" is a profound hymn of devotion that invites the choir and congregation into a deep, personal dialogue with God. The lyrics speak of an unyielding desire to love and praise the Almighty, offering the "cream of all my heart" as a genuine sacrifice. It is a gentle reminder that our worship extends beyond the walls of the church, filling "seven whole days, not one in seven."
In the choir loft, this piece is often chosen for the Offertory or as a general hymn of praise, where its steady, reverent harmony can truly shine. The words carry a quiet intensity, acknowledging human frailty while celebrating God's boundless mercy and attentive ear. It leaves worshippers with a sense of awe, recognizing that even eternity is too short to fully extol the Lord.
