O Worship the King

Listen to:

  O Worship the King (.midi)
  O Worship the King (.mp3)

1.	O worship the King, all glorious above,
	
	O gratefully sing God's power and God's
	love;
	our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of
	Days,
	pavilioned in splendor, and girded with
	praise.


2.	O tell of God's might, O sing of God's
	grace,
	whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
	
	whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds
	form,
	and dark is God's path on the wings of the
	storm.


3.	The earth with its store of wonders untold,
	
	Almighty, thy power 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.
