How Excellent Thy Name
(Psalm 8)
O, Lord, our Lord, how excellent
And worthy is Thy name!
When I behold the moon and stars
They power didst ordain,
And gaze upon the heavens
That Thy mighty finger made,
The plans for all the universe
That Thou alone has laid,
What is man that Thou makest him
Of all Thy works above;
What is the son of man that Thou
Shouldst visit him in love?
How shall Thy creatures cease to praise
Their great Creator’s worth?
O, Lord, our Lord, how excellent
Thy name in all the earth!
