Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13769 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our king, how excellent,
Thy name on earth is known!
Thy glory in the firmament
How wonderfully shown!
2 Yet are the humble dear to Thee;
Thy praises are confessed
By infants lisping on the knee,
And sucklings at the breast.
3 When I behold the heav’ns on high.
The work of Thy right hand;
The moon and stars amid the sky,
Thy lights in every land—
4 Lord, what is man, that Thou shouldst deign
On him to set Thy love,
Give him on earth awhile to reign,
Then fill a throne above?
5 O Lord, how excellent Thy name!
How manifold Thy ways!
Let time Thy saving truth proclaim,
Eternity Thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: BRINGHURST STREET
O Lord, Our King, How Excellent
