O Worship the King all glorious above

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,138 hymnals 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 and 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! 5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love, whom angels delight to worship above! Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze, in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim

Author: Charles Wesley; Norton Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 668 hymnals First Line: Ye servants of God! Your Master proclaim Lyrics: 1 You servants of God, your Master proclaim, and publish abroad his wonderful name; the name all-victorious of Jesus extol; his kingdom is glorious and rules over all. 2 God rules in the height, almighty to save; though hid from our sight, 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 power, all wisdom and might, all honor and blessing with angels above and thanks never ceasing for infinite love.

Though troubles assail, and dangers affright

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 429 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Though troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2. The birds, without barn or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3. We may, like the ships, by tempests be tossed On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost: Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, The promise engages "The Lord will provide." 4. When Satan appears to stop up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, The heart cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 5. His call we obey, like Abram of old, Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold; For though we are strangers, we have a good guide, And trust, in all dangers, "The Lord will provide." 6. He tells us we're weak--our hope is in vain, The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain; But when such suggestions our spirits have plied, This answers all questions, "The Lord will provide" 7. No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim; Yet since we have known the Savior's great name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide; The Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide." 8. When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through: Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, "The Lord will provide."

O What Shall I Do, My Savior to Praise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 87 hymnals First Line: O what shall I do my Savior to praise Lyrics: 1. O what shall I do my Savior to praise, So faithful and true, so plenteous in grace, So strong to deliver, so good to redeem The weakest believer that hangs upon Him! 2. How happy the man whose heart is set free, The people that can be joyful in Thee! Their joy is to walk in the light of Thy face, And still they are talking of Jesus’ grace. 3. Their daily delight shall be in Thy name; They shall as their right Thy righteousness claim; Thy righteousness wearing, and cleansed by Thy blood, Bold shall they appear in the presence of God. 4. For Thou art their boast, their glory and power; And I also trust to see the glad hour, My soul’s new creation, a life from the dead, The day of salvation, that lifts up my head. 5. For Jesus, my Lord, is now my defense; I trust in His Word, none plucks me from thence; Since I have found favor, He all things will do; My King and my Savior shall make me anew. 6. Yes, Lord, I shall see the bliss of Thine own, Thy secret to me shall soon be made known; For sorrow and sadness I joy shall receive, And share in the gladness of all that believe.
