Verse 1: D G D C D O worship the King all-glorious above, G D G C G D G O gratefully sing his power and his love: D G D D7 our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, G D G C D G pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. Verse 2: D G D C D O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, G D G C G D G whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. D G D D7 His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, G D G C D G and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
Verse 3: D G D C D The earth with its store of wonders untold, G D G C G D G Almighty your pow’r has founded of old; D G D D7 has ‘stablished it fast by a changeless decree, G D G C D G and round it has cast, like a mantle the sea. Verse 4: D G D C D Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? G D G C G D G It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; D G D D7 it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, G D G C D G and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. Verse 5: D G D C D Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, G D G C G D G in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; D G D D7 your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, G D G C D G our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! Verse 6: D G D C D O measureless Might! Ineffable Love! G D G C G D G While angels delight to hymn you a-bove, D G D D7 the humbler creation, though feeble their lays, G D G C D G with true adoration shall lisp to your praise!
