O worship the King, all-glorious above
1
O worship the King, all-glorious above,And gratefully sing his wonderful love;Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days,Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
2
O tell of his might and sing of his grace,Whose robe is the light; whose canopy, space;His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
4
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,In Thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end!Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
