All Glorious (Dorothy Gates)

The hymn tune used in this short treatment is Hanover. Some of the words associated with this tune are, ?O worship the King all glorious above.? The thought of our King being ?all glorious? fascinated the composer who set out to create a sound world of splendor. The music is very energetic and effervescent, springing from a heart full of praise to our King for His great love for us.

O worship the King, all glorious above;
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavillioned in splendor and girded with praise.
