Hymns about Glory of God

The glory of God is the radiant display of His infinite excellence, majesty, and holiness. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth His handywork; yet the fullest revelation of that glory is in the face of Jesus Christ. Scripture speaks of God's glory filling the temple, shining upon Sinai, and being beheld by the apostles when the Word was made flesh. All things were created for His glory, and the chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. To seek the glory of God is to refuse self-exaltation and to delight that the Lord alone is exalted in the earth.

Hymns on the glory of God lift congregational praise above lesser themes and fix attention upon the worthiness of the Lord. They may celebrate creation's witness, redemption's wonder, or the future day when the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. Such songs teach reverence, enlarge affection, and correct worship that becomes too centered upon human need alone. When the church sings of God's glory, it learns again that praise is fitting and that silence before His majesty is also holy.

These hymns belong in Lord's Day worship, seasons of thanksgiving, and services that renew a vision of God's greatness. In private devotion they humble pride and awaken adoration. Explore this selection for songs that magnify the glory of God with biblical reverence and joyful awe.
