#842: Oh, Worship the King

We get some proper noun fun with "Ancient of Days" and "Almighty," and some tortured word order with "The earth..., Almighty, your power has founded...and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea." Some nice internal rhymes with "defender"/"splendor" and "hills"/"distills"--the latter, I think, trying to say something about how even the dew and rain are signs of God's care. If you look at them in the right perspective. Plus "hymn" as a verb. This is one of those old-timey 1800s texts that you can't blame on a translation, they were just really going over-the-top.
