Lyrics

There is a king of glo­ry,
And of His love we sing;
Let us re­peat the sto­ry,
Of Jesus the Lord and King.

Refrain

Just to be ev­er near Him,
Just to be there and hear Him,
My heart shall ev­er r­evere Him,
My Lord and king.

There is a lov­ing Fa­ther,
Living in Heav­en ab­ove;
Waiting to greet His child­ren,
Longing to share His love.

Refrain

There is a band of an­gels,
Singing around the throne;
Filling the heav’ns with mu­sic,
Sweeter than earth has known.
