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
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise
2 O tell of his might and 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 Your 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
4 Frail children of dust and feeble as frail
in you do we trust nor find you to fail
Your mercies how tender how firm to the end
our Maker Defender Redeemer and Friend
5 O measureless Might unchangeable Love
whom angels delight to worship above
Your ransomed creation with glory ablaze
in true adoration shall sing to your praise
Psalter Hymnal (Gray)
