Oh, worship the King, All glorious above

Verse1
Oh, worship the King,
All glorious above !

Oh, gratefully sing
His power and His love;

Our Shield and Defender,
The Ancient of Days,

Pavilioned in splendour,
And girded with praise.

Verse2
Oh, tell of His might,
Oh, 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.

Verse3
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.

Verse4
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 distils in
The dew and the rain.

Verse5
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 !

Verse6
O measureless Might !
Ineffable Love !

While angels delight
To hymn Thee above,

The humbler creation,
Though feeble their lays,

With true adoration
Shall sing to Thy praise.
