Author: Sir Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs #1 (2018) Meter: 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5 First Line: O worship the King Lyrics: 1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The earth with its store
Of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power
Hath founded of old;
Established 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!
6. O measureless might!
Ineffable love!
While angels delight
To hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation,
Though feeble their lays,
With true adoration
Shall all sing Thy praise! Topics: A Psalm; The Worship of God Scripture: Psalm 104:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS
O Worship the King!
