O worship the King, all glorious above

Author: Robert Grant (1779-1838) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,171 hymnals Scripture: Job 38 Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above; O gratefully sing his power and his love; our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might, O 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 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old; hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 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. 5 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! 6 O measureless might, ineffable love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, the humbler creation, in lowlier ways, with true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Topics: God in majesty; Providence Used With Tune: HANOVER

I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at his command and all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; he formed the creatures with his word and then pronounced them good. Lord, how your wonders are displayed where'er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky! 3 There's not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known; and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne; while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that I may be, you, God, are present there.

Thy great Provider still is near; Who fed thee last, will feed thee still; Be calm, and sink into his will. 2 The Lord, who built the earth and sky, In mercy stoops to hear thy cry; His promise all may freely claim, Ask and receive in Jesus' name. 3 His stores are open all, and free To such as truly upright be; Water and bread he'll give for food, With all things else which he sees good. 4 Your sacred hairs, which are so small, By God himself are numbered all; This truth he's published all abroad, That men may learn to trust the Lord. 5 The ravens daily he doth feed, And sends them food as they have need; Although they nothing have in store, Yet as they lack he gives them more. 6 Then do not seek, with anxious care, What ye shall eat, or drink, or wear; Your heavenly Father will you feed; He knows that all these things you need.

The unwearied sun from day to day does his Creator's power display; and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, the moon takes up the wondrous tale, and nightly to the listening earth repeats the story of her birth: whilst all the stars that round her burn, and all the planets in their turn, confirm the tidings, as they roll and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all move round the dark terrestrial ball, what though no real voice nor sound, amid their radiant orbs be found; in reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice; for ever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."
