Hymn 71 KING OF GLORY Lyrics

1. King of glory, King of peace, I love Thee;
And that lone may never cease, I will move Thee.
Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me;
Thou didst note my working breast, Thou hast spared me.

2. Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing Thee,
And the cream of all my heart I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me:
And alone, when they replied. Thou didst hear me.

3. Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise Thee; In my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise Thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enroll Theo:
E’en eternity’s too short to extol Thee.
