Representative Text

1 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.

2 There is a loving Father,
Living in heav’n above;
Waiting to greet His children,
Longing to share His love. [Refrain]

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