Author: Robert Grant Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #12 (1927) Meter: 10.10.11.11 First Line: Oh, worship the King all glorious above Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King all glorious above;
Oh, gratefully sing His pow'r and His love;
Our Shield and Defender the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
2 Oh, tell of His might, Oh, 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.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old,
Hath 'stablish'd it fast by a changeless decree,
And 'round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 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.
5 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.
