Coming to the King

Frances Ridley Havergal

Coming to the King

Coming to the King

Frances Ridley Havergal

These are poems written from the inside of faith, from someone who understood that approaching God was not a formality but an act of total surrender. Frances Ridley Havergal writes with Victorian precision and devotional fire, her verses moving from the bold declaration of 'Coming to the King' to the quiet refuge of 'Under the Shadow.' The collection gathers hymns and poems that trace the full arc of spiritual longing: the initial coming, the struggle, the rest, and the renewed commitment. Havergal's voice is direct and earnest, unafraid to ask hard questions of her Maker while remaining utterly devoted. This is devotional literature for those who want their faith expressed with intellectual honesty and emotional intensity.
