Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #12 (2011) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above 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 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 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.
Amen. Topics: Worship and Praise Adoration; Adoration Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS
