Oh, worship the King all-glorious above

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King all-glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilion'd in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of His might, and 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. 3 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 distils in the dew and the rain. 4 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.

Affliction is a stormy deep

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Affliction is a stormy deep, Where wave resounds to wave; Though o'er my head the billows roll, I know the Lord can save. 2 The hand that now withholds my joys Can reinstate my peace; And He who bade the tempest roar, Can bid that tempest cease. 3 In the dark watches of the night, I'll count His mercies o'er; I'll praise Him for ten thousand past, And humbly sue for more. 4 When darkness and when sorrows rose And press'd on every side, The Lord has still sustain'd my steps, And still has been my guide. 5 Here will I rest, and build my hopes, Nor murmur at His rod; He's more than all the world to me, My health, my life, my God!
