O worship the King all-glorious above

Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #35 (1973) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Approach to God The Majesty of God 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 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 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 distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find you to fail; Your 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 sing to thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: HANOVER

No! the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice, Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.
