O LORD, OUR LORD
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of
His hands." Psalms 19:1
Words: The Psalter, 1912.
Music: "Dunfermline," Scottish Psalter, 1615.
O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth,
How excellent Thy Name!
Thy glory Thou hast spread afar
In all the starry frame.
When I regard the wondrous heavens,
Thy handiwork on high,
The moon and stars ordained by Thee,
Oh, what is man! I cry.
Oh, what is man, in Thy regard
To hold so large a place!
And what the son of man, that Thou
Dost visit him in grace!
On man Thy wisdom hath bestowed
A pow'r well nigh divine;
With honor Thou hast crowned his head
With glory like to Thine.
Thy mighty works and wondrous grace
Thy glory, Lord, proclaim.
O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth
How excellent Thy Name!
