O worship the King, All glorious above! O gratefully sing his power and his love!
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of his might! O sing of his grace! Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm
The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old,
Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
O measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angels delight to worship thee above,
The humbler creation,though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to thy praise.
Interlude
Accompaniment (2nd tune)
O worship the King, All glorious above! O gratefully sing God's power and God's love!
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of God's might! O sing of God's grace! Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
The chariots of heaven the deep thunderclouds form, and bright is God's path on the wings of the storm
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.
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.
