HYMN Lyrics Text: O Worship The King, All Glorious Above
1. O worship the King,
All glorious above.
O gratefully sing
His power and His love,
Our shield and defender,
The ancient of days,
Pavilloned in splendour,
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 thunder-clouds 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.
It sweetly distills in
the dew and the rain.
5. Frail children of dust,
and feeble and 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.
