Sheet music
- 1O worship the King, all glorious above,And gratefully singHis wonderful love;Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
- 2O 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.
- 3Thy 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.
- 4Frail 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!
