86   O owrship the King




[V1]
O worship the King, all glorious above,
And grate-fully sing his wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender the Ancient of Days,
Pavillion’d in splendor, and girded with praise.

[V2]
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 the path on the wings of the storm.

[V3]
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

[V4]
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 Master, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
