O LORD our King! How excellent
Thy name on earth is known!
Thy glory in the firmament
How wonderfully shown!
Yet are the humble dear to Thee;
Thy praises are confest
By infants lisping on the knee,
And sucklings at the breast.
When I behold the heavens on high,
The work of thy right hand;
The moon and stars amid the sky,
Thy lights in every land;—
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?
O LORD, how excellent thy name!
How manifold thy ways!
Let Time thy saving truth proclaim,
Eternity thy praise.
