O Worship The King

O worship the King all glorious above
O gratefully sing His wonderful love
Our shield and defender the ancient of days
Pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise

O tell of His might O sing of His grace
Whose robe is the light and canopy space
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm

O measureless might ineffable love
While angels delight to worship above
Thy mercies how tender how firm to end
Our maker defender redeemer and friend

You alone are the matchless King
To You alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders what tongue can recite
You breathe in the air You shine in the light

J M Haydn (1737-1806), R Grant (1779-1838) & Arr. Chris Tomlin
