We Will Glorify the King of Kings

“We Will Glorify” is a contemporary Christian hymn written by Twila Paris that centers on giving glory and honor to God, especially to Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. The hymn is structured as a simple yet powerful declaration of worship, making it accessible for congregational singing while maintaining strong theological depth.

The hymn draws heavily from Revelation 5:12–13, where heavenly beings declare the worthiness of the Lamb to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing. This vision of heavenly worship is reflected in the repeated commitment of believers on earth to glorify the Lord together.

Psalm 29:2 calls worshipers to “give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name,” a theme that runs throughout the hymn. It emphasizes that worship is not centered on human feelings but on the worthiness of God Himself. Similarly, 1 Chronicles 16:28–29 urges giving glory and strength to the Lord and bringing offerings before Him in reverence.

Another important focus is the exaltation of Christ, as seen in Philippians 2:9–11, where God highly exalts Jesus and gives Him a name above every name. The hymn reflects this truth by acknowledging Christ’s supreme authority and calling believers to respond in unified praise.

“We Will Glorify” remains widely used in churches because of its clear focus on God’s glory and its strong scriptural foundation. It invites believers to join their voices in worship, not only as individuals but as a unified body, declaring the greatness and majesty of the Lord.
