The King Of Glory Standeth



"And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea,
"Peace! Be still! And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."
Mark 4:39



Peace be Still 
Yongsung Kim
Korean artist




The King of Glory standeth    Beside the heart of sin;

His mighty voice commandeth   The raging waves within;

The floods of deepest anguish   Roll backwards at His will,

As o'er the storm ariseth   His mandate, "Peace be still."


At times, with sudden glory,  He speaks and all is done;

Without one stroke of battle   The victory is won,

While we, with joy beholding,  Can scarce believe it true

That e'en our kingly Jesus,  Can form such hearts a-new.


O Christ, Thy love is mighty;  Long-suffering is Thy grace;

And glorious is the splendor   That beameth from Thy face.

Our hearts upleap in gladness   When we behold that love,

As we go singing onward,   To dwell with Thee above. Amen.



"The King Of Glory Standeth"
Charitie De Cheney Lees Smith Bancroft

Irish-born American hymn writer
