O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens. (Psalms 8:1)

Words

1. How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, splendid is your name!
You placed your glory far above
The heav'nly, starry frame.

Chorus. Majestic are your wondrous works,
How awesome, we proclaim:
How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, splendid is your name!

2. I oft look up unto the heav'ns,
which your own fingers traced,
Unto the moon, and to the stars,
which you have set in place;

Chorus. Majestic are your wondrous works,
How awesome, we proclaim:
How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, splendid is your name!

3. You made birds fly and fishes swim,
and ever them sustain,
With sheep and oxen and the beasts
that in the field remain.

Chorus. Majestic are your wondrous works,
How awesome, we proclaim:
How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, splendid is your name!

4. Then you made man a little low'r
than heav'nly hosts above
And placed great honor on his head,
a glorious crown of love.

Chorus. Majestic are your wondrous works,
How awesome, we proclaim:
How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, splendid is your name!
