Coming to the King
Frances Ridley Havergal
Coming to the King.
Our King
Led in Peace.
His Presence
Springs of Peace
The Welcome to the King
The King of Love.
God is Love and God is Light
This collection of devotional poems and hymns invites listeners into a deeply personal encounter with Christ as King, counsellor, and source of peace. Drawing on the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba, the opening poem portrays a solitary soul arriving with questions, burdens, and nothing to offer but an open heart—and discovering wisdom, welcome, and grace beyond expectation.
Across its verses, the book reflects on prayer, surrender, guidance, and the quiet joy of living in the presence of the Saviour. Its language moves between praise and intimate meditation, celebrating divine wisdom while acknowledging seasons of doubt, conflict, sorrow, and waiting.
For listeners drawn to classic Christian poetry, these readings offer reassurance and encouragement. The poems point toward a faith that receives strength for the present, finds peace amid difficulty, and looks ahead with hope to everlasting fellowship with the King.
