HANOVER. (10 in. 1111.) š š „ = 76. William Croft (1678-1727).
OH worship the King, all-glorious above;
Oh gratefully sing his power and his love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days,
Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.
Oh gratefully sing his power and his love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days,
Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.
Oh tell of his might, oh 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.
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.
The 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.
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.
