O worship the King all glorious above

Author: W. Kethe (died 1594); R. Grant (1779-1838) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,144 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above, and 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 thunder-clouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your power has founded of old, established it fast by a changeless decree, and round it has cast like a garment the sea. 4 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. 5 We children of dust are feeble and frail — in you we will trust, for you never fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end! our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend. 6 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!
