Verse 1 ~ 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. Verse 2 ~ 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 distills in the dew and the rain. Verse 3 ~ Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,      In God do we trust, never finding Him to fail; His mercies, how tender! how firm to the end!      Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
