King of glory by Henry Walford Davies — Lyrics
King of glory, King of peace,
I will love thee;
and, that love may never cease,
I will move thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me,
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.

About King of glory
Henry Walford Davies composed King of Glory, a sacred anthem for SSATTBB choir. The text expresses profound devotion and praise to God, beginning with a plea for love and assurance that sins have been forgiven. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of gratitude for divine intervention and a desire to offer eternal praise, acknowledging that even eternity is insufficient to fully extol the divine glory. The music aims to capture the spiritual intensity and humble adoration conveyed by the words. This anthem is suitable for services where a rich choral sound and heartfelt expression are desired.
