Words that rhyme with Glory
Glory belongs to the two-syllable group; its vowel is the short /ɪ/, and it opens out at the end. The lyric tradition treats it as a common-tongue word. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. From the rhyme-data side: the perfect pool is workable but compact, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance well runs into four figures. From the lyric side, it works as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why glory rhymes the way it does
Glory is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ɪ/, then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 40, assonance 4,831, and consonance 582. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Glory works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
