Ye Servants of God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 669 hymnals First Line: Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, and publish abroad his wonderful name; the name all-victorious of Jesus extol; his kingdom is glorious, he rules over all. 2 Our God rules on high, almighty to save; and still he is nigh, his presence we have; the great congregation his triumph shall sing, ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King. 3 Salvation to God, who sits on the throne! Let all cry aloud and honor the Son; the praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb. 4 Then let us adore and give him his right, all glory and pow'r and wisdom and might, all honor and blessing with angels above and thanks never ceasing for infinite love.

O Worship the King

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,140 hymnals First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above 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 splendor 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 thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 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. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as 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.
