Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#14

14. Lord, Our Lord, Thy glorious Name

1 Lord, our Lord, Thy glorious Name
All Thy wondrous works proclaim;
In the heavens with radiant signs
Evermore Thy glory shines.
How great Thy Name!

Refrain:
Lord, our Lord, in all the earth,
How great Thy Name!
Thine the Name of matchless worth,
Excellent in all the earth;
How great Thy Name!

2 Infant lips Thou dost ordain
Wrath and vengeance to restrain;
Weakest means fulfil Thy will,
Mighty enemies to still.
How great Thy Name! [Refrain]

3 Moon and stars in shining height
Nightly tell their Maker's might;
When Thy wondrous heavens I scan,
Then I know how weak is man.
How great Thy Name! [Refrain]

4 What is man that he should be
Loved and visited by Thee,
Raised to an exalted height,
Crowned with honor in Thy sight!
How great Thy Name! [Refrain]

5 With dominion crowned he stands
O’er the creatures of Thy hands;
All to Him subjection yield
In the sea and air and field.
How great Thy Name! [Refrain]
