Come, Thou Almighty King
O Worship the King, All Glorious Above!
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:9 First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above!
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of God's might, O sing of God's grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of heaven the deep thunderclouds form,
And bright is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 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.
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.

We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, through whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lion's might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah’s name.
4 Then grant, O God, that we may, too,
Return in fast and prayer to you.
Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
And give us joy to see your face. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Lenten Season; Transfiguration of the Lord August 6th; Fasting; Grace; Jesus Christ; Petition, Prayer; Strength Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own:
awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for me,
and hail him as your chosen king
through all eternity.

but downwards bends a burning eye
at mysteries so bright.

who triumphed o'er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save:
his glories now we sing
who died, and rose on high;
who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
5 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease
absorbed in prayer and praise:
his reign shall know no end,
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
6 Crown him the Lord of years,
the Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
majestic and sublime:
all hail, Redeemer, hail!
for you have died for me;
your praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Lord of earth as well as angels,
thou art ev'ry creature’s theme;
Lord of ev'ry land and nation,
Ancient of Eternal Days,
sounded through the wide creation
be thy just and endless praise.
2 For the grandeur of your nature,
grand beyond a seraph’s thought;
for the wonders of creation,
works with skill and kindness wrought;
for thy providence that gtoverns
through thine empire's wide domain,
wings an angel, guides a sparrow:
blessed by thy gentle reign.
4 But thy rich, thy free redemption,
dark through brightness all along;
thought is poor, and poor expression:
who dare sing that wondrous song?
Brightness of the Father’s glory,
shall thy praise unuttered lie?
Break, my tongue, such guilty silence;
sing the Lord who came to die.
4 From the highest throne of glory
to the cross of deepest woe,
all to ransom guilty captives!
Flow my praise, forever flow
Go, return, immortal Savior;
leave thy footstool, claim thy throne;
thence return, and reign forever;
be the kingdom all thine own!

seeks and saves the fearful.

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:1-3 Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks in upon our darkness,
splendour bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the law and prophets meet:
Christ, with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we like Peter find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless. Topics: Transfiguration Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN
