2

O wor-ship the King all glo-rious a-bove,And grate-ful-ly sing His won-der-ful love;

3

Our Shield and De-fend-er, the An-cient of Days,

 Pa-vil-lioned in splen-dor and gird-ed with praise.

4

O tell of His might and sing of His grace,

 Whose robe is the light, whose can-o-py space;

5

His char-iots of wrath the deep thun-der-clouds form,

   And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

6

The earth with its storeof wonders untold,

Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old;

7

has 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree,

and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea

8

Your boun-ti-ful care what tongue can re-cite?

   It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,

9

It streams from the hills, it de-scends to the plain,

   And sweet-ly dis-tills in the dew and the rain.

10

Frail chil-dren of dust, and fee-ble as frail,

   In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;

11

Thy mer-cies how ten-der, how firm to the end,

   Our Mak-er, De-fend-er, Re-deem-er and Friend.

12

O mea-sure-less Might!In-eff-able Love!

While angels delight to hymn you above,

13

the hum-bler creation, though feeble their lays,

with true ad-or-ation shall lisp to your praise.
