	"O WORSHIP THE KING"

HYMN:

Love Divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth comedown;
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown:
Jesu, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy Salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.

Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Never more Thy Temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above:
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing
Glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be:
Let us see Thy great salvation,
Perfectly restored in Thee:
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love and praise. - Charles Wesley.

HYMN:
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.
O tell of his might, (descant)
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.
This 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.
O measureless Might, (descant)
Ineffable Love,
While angels delight
To hymn thee above,
Thy humbler creation.
Though feeble their lays,
With true adoration
Shall sing to thy praise. - Sir R. Grant.
