The Singing Of O Worship The King -- Hymn

O Worship The King is written by Robert Grant, 1833 and William Croft, 1708.

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.

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.

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.

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!
