O Worship the King
Author: Sir Robert Grant Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #2 (1985) Meter: 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5 Topics: Beginning of Worship 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 This 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.
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,
thy humbler creation,
though feeble their lays,
with true adoration
shall sing to thy praise.
Scripture: Psalm 104:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: HANOVER

Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #63 (1985) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Topics: Beginning of Worship Lyrics: 1 We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
he chastens and hastens his will to make known;
the wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
sing praises to his name: he forgets not his own.
2 Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine;
so from the beginning the fight we were winning;
thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be thine!
3 We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,
and pray that thou still our defender wilt be;
let thy congregation escape tribulation;
thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

cherubim and seraphim,

"Holy, holy, holy, Lord!"
3 Lo! the apostolic train
join your sacred name to hallow;
prophets swell the glad refrain,
and the white-robed martyrs follow;
and from morn to set of sun
through the church the song goes on.

Holy Spirit, Three we name you,
though in essence only One,
undivided God, we claim you,
and, adoring, bend the knee,
while we own the mystery.
5 Glory through eternity:
Spirit, Son, and blessed Father,
God of gracious tenderness,
at thy feet we sinners gather.
All thy great and wondrous love
we shall through the ages prove.
