O Worship the King
Author: Sir Robert Grant Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #2 (1985) Meter: 5.5.5.5.6.5.6.5 Topics: Hymns with Descants 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 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.
4 Thy 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.
5 Frail children of dust,
and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust,
nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies how tender,
how firm to the end!
Our maker, defender,
redeemer, and friend.
6 O measureless Might,
ineffable love!
While angels delight
to hymn thee above,
thy humbler creation,
though feeble their lays,
with true adoration
shall sing to thy praise.
Scripture: Psalm 104:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: HANOVER

The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #335 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Hymns with Descants Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
Iis crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty Victor’s brow.
2 The highest place that heav'n affords
is his, is his by right,
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
and heav'n’s eternal light--
3 the joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love,
and grants his name to know.
4 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace, is giv'n,
their name, an everlasting name,
their joy, the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him;
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme!

While shepherds watched
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #138 (1997) Topics: Church Year Christmas; Descants and Fauxbourdons; Hymns with Doxologies; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
the angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind;
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and humankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
and this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all meanly wrapped in swaddling bands,
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the seraph, and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heaven to earth
begin, and never cease!" Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD
