Anglican clergyman, co-founder (with his brother John) of Methodism, and prolific hymnwriter Charles Wesley wrote the text to #209 “Ye Servants of God” in 1744. It is set to the tune HANOVER, attributed to William Croft. The tune HANOVER also works very well with the text “O Worship the King” (#10). Here is a descant for Hanover, with the Wesley text as found in The Christian Life Hymnal, selection 209. (Gratis permission is granted to reproduce this descant for use in your church, provided the copyright notice is on each copy reproduced.)
