O Lord, how glorious is thy name
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how glorious is thy name,
Through the wide earth's extended frame1
Majestick glories form they seat,
And heaven adores beneath thy feet.
2 When all thy shining works on high
We meditate with raptur'd eye;
The silver moon, the starry train,
Which gild the fair etherial plain:
3 Lord, what is man, that he should share
Thy notice, thy indulgent care?
That man, frail child of earth, should be
The favourite of the Deity?
4 His place, thy forming hand assign'd,
But just below th' angelick kind;
With noblest favours circled round,
And with distinguish'd honours crown'd,
5 Invested him with power and sway,
And bid the subject brutes obey;
Sovereign of all thy works below,
To him the meaner creatures bow;
6 The blessing flocks, the lowing herds,
The gliding fish, the flying birds;
All that the earth's wide circuit yields,
Natives of air, or seas, or fields.
7 But still let man, adoring, own
That Thou, O Lord, art King alone;
And through the earth's extended frame
Declare the glories of thy name.

Hymnal: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, Vol. 2 #139 (1760) First Line: O Lord, how glorious is thy name Lyrics:
I. O Lord, how glorious is thy name
Thro' the wide earth's extended frame!
Majestic glories form thy seat,
And heav'n adores beneath thy feet.
II. Thy pow'r from tender babes can raise
A monument of wond'rous praise:
At thy command, the instant song
Shall still the proud blasphemer's tongue.
III. When all thy shining works on high
I meditate with raptur'd eye,
The silver moon, the starry train,
Which gild the fair etherial plain:
IV. Lord, what is man, that he should share
Thy notice, thy indulgent care?
That man, frail child of earth, should be
The fav'rite of the Deity?
V. His place thy forming hand assign'd,
But just below th' angelic kind;
With noblest favours circled round,
And with distinguish'd honours crown'd:
VI. Invested him with pow'r and sway,
And bid the subject brutes obey;
Sov'reign of all thy works below,
To him the meaner creatures bow:
VII. The blessing flocks, the lowing herds,
The gliding fish, the flying birds;
All that the earth's wide circuit yields,
Natives of air, or seas, or fields.
VIII. But still let man adoring own,
That thou, O Lord, art King alone;
And thro' the earth's extended frame,
Declare the glories of thy name. Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English
