O worship the King, all glorious above
And gratefully sing, His power and His love
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise
Your 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
O children of God though our strength be frail
In You do we trust nor find You to fail
Your mercies how tender, how firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend
