O God our Lord, how wonderful
are thy works ev'ry where!
Thy fame surmounts in dignity
the highest heav'ns that are.
E'en by the mouth of sucking babes
thou wilt confound thy foes;
For in those babes thy might is seen
thy graces they disclose.
And when I see the heav'ns above,
the work of thine own hand,
The sun, the moon, and all the stars
in order as they stand;
Lord what is man, that thou of him
tak'st such abundant care!
Or what the son of man, whom thou
to visit dost not spare!
For thou hast made him little less
than angels in degree;
And thou hast also crowned him
with glorious dignity.
Thou hast preferred him to be lord
of all thy works, and thou
Hast in subjection unto him
put all things here below.
As sheep, and neat, and all beasts else
that in the fields do feed,
Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
and all that therein breed,
O God our Lord, how excellent
is thy most glorious Name
In all the earth! Therefore do we
praise and adore the same.
