ENGLISH: O worship the King, All glorious above

Verse 1
O worship the King, All glorious above;
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our shield and defender, The Ancient of days,
Pavillioned in splendour, And girded with praise.

Verse 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 thunder-clouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Verse 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

Verse 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.

Verse 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!

Verse 6
O measureless Might! Ineffable Love!
While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall lisp to Thy praise!
