O worship the king\nAll glorious above;\nO gratefully sing\nHis power and his love:\nOur shield and defender,\nThe ancient of days,\nPavilioned in splendour\nAnd girded with praise.\n2. O tell of his might,\nO sing of his grace\nWhose robe is the light,\nWhose canopy space.\nHis chariots of wrath\nThe deep thunder-clouds form,\nAnd dark his path\nOn the wings of the storm.\n3. The earth: with its store\nOf wonders untold,\nAlmighty, the power\nHath founded of old;\nHath ‘stablished it fast\nBy a changeless decree,\nAnd round it hath cast,\nLike a mantle, the sea.\n4. Thy bountiful care\nWhat tongue can recite?\nIt breathes in the air.\nIt shines in the light;\nIt streams from the hills;\nIt descends to the plain,\nAnd sweetly distils\nIn the dew and the rain.\n5. Frail children of dust,\nAnd feeble as frail,\nIn thee do we trust,\nNor find thee to fail;\nThy mercies how tender,\nHow firm to the end,\nOur maker, defender,\nRedeemer and friend!\n6. O measureless might!\nIneffable love!\nWhile angels delight\nTo hymn thee above,\nThe humbler creation,\nThough feeble their lays,\nWith true adoration\nShall sing to thy praise.
