Bible Songs #15 "How Excellent Thy Name" (Psalm 8:1-5)
1. Lord, our Lord, o’er earth’s vast frame,
How exalted is Thy name!
Who hast set Thy glory bright,
Far above the heaven’s height.
Refrain:
O Lord, how excellent Thy name!
How great Thy name in all the earth,
O Lord, how excellent Thy name!
How great Thy name in all the earth!
2. From the mouth of children young
From the infant’s lisping tongue,
Matchless strength Thou hast ordained,
Thus Thy vengeful foes restrained.
Refrain.
3. When Thy heavens I survey,
Which Thy fingers’ work display,
When the moon and stars I see
Ordered all by Thy decree:
Refrain.
4. What is man that in Thy mind
He a constant place should find?
What the son of man that he
Should be visited by Thee?
Refrain.
5. Thou his station didst ordain
Just below the angel train;
Glory Thou hast o’er him shed,
And with honor crowned his head.
Refrain.
