O Worship the King

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,214 hymnals Topics: Revelation and Adoration First Line: O worship the King, all-glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above, and gratefully sing His pow'r 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 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy pow'r 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.

O Lord, Thou Hast Ascended

Rich gifts to Thee are offered by men who did rebel, who pray that now Jehovah, their God, with them may dwell. 2 Blest be the Lord who daily our heavy burden bears, the God of our salvation, who for His people cares. Our God is near to help us, our God is strong to save; the LORD alone is able to ransom from the grave. 3 Sing unto God, ye nations, ye kingdoms of the earth; sing unto God, all people, and praise His matchless worth. He rides in royal triumph upon the heav'ns abroad; He speaks, the mountains tremble before the voice of God. 4 All glory, might, and honor ascribe to God on high; His arm protects His people who on His pow'r rely. Forth from Thy holy dwelling Thine awful glories shine; Thou strengthenest Thy people; unending praise be Thine. Scripture: Psalm 68 Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
