127. He Is the King of Love

1 For service I am set apart,
Changed by His love, my wayward heart,
No other friend can life impart,
For He is the King of Love.
In tendrest tones He speaks to me,
“I have revealed myself to thee,
Go tell the world to come and see,”
For He is the King of Love.

Refrain:
He is the King, He is the King,
Glory and honor be to Him on earth and in heav’n above,
He is the King, He is the King,
Glory and honor be to Him
For He is the King of love.

2 I do not fear the dawn of day
Shall fill my soul with deep dismay;
“Fear not, my child” I hear Him say,
For He is the King of Love.
I do not ask to rule and reign,
To cherish pride or seek to gain;
The friendship of the world is vain,
For He is the King of Love. [Refrain]

3 His matchless splendor shall unfold
The pearly gates, the streets of gold,
The glory of that world untold,
For He is the King of Love.
When I shall see His loving face,
The author of redeeming grace,
How sweet will be the King’s embrace,
For He is the King of Love. [Refrain]
