The concepts and phrases of the classic hymn “O Worship the King” are taken from various passages of Scripture about the majesty of God. We “gratefully sing his power and his love,” for He is “our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days.” We “tell of his might and sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.”

When it comes to the Bible, studying should lead to singing. As we discover God’s “bountiful care,” we should lift our hearts in thanksgiving. As we realize how our King provides for us, though we are “frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,” we should glorify His matchless love that “streams from the hills…descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.”

Whatever your preference in music, let your study of God’s Word inspire your worship. Let your Bible be the tuning fork for your soul, the melody for your day, and the source of your songs.

Your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
