O Worship

Author: Sir Robert Grant Appears in 1,148 hymnals First Line: O worship the King all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above, O gratefully sing His wonderful 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 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. 4 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. Used With Tune: LYONS

Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 2 I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I have read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah! His day is marching on. 3 He has sounded forth His trumpet that shall never sound retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat. O be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on. 4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free; While God is marching on. Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah! While God is marching on. Used With Tune: [Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord]
