Jehovah, Lord of power and might,
How glorious is thy name!
The blaze of day, the pomp of night,
Thy majesty proclaim.
Lord, what is man-weak, sinful man-
That he thy care should prove;
That thou for him shouldst deign to plan
Such mighty acts of love!
Made in thine image at his birth,
Next to the heavenly host,
And sovereign of the new-formed earth,
Each privilege he lost.
Then did the pitying Saviour leave
The glories of the sky,-
O love too wondrous to conceive!-
For sinful man to die;
To die, that we, by grace restored,
Might life and glory claim!
O great Creator, Saviour, Lord,
How excellent thy name!
