LORD, Our LORD, Your Glorious Name
Psalm 8
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 First Line: O Lord, our heav'nly King Lyrics:
O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.
When to thy works on high
I raise my wondering eyes,
And see the moon, complete in light,
Adorn the darksome skies
When I survey the stars,
And all their shining forms,
Lord, what is man, that worthless thing,
Akin to dust and worms?
Lord, what is worthless man,
That thou shouldst love him so?
Next to thine angels is he placed,
And lord of all below.
Thine honors crown his head,
While beasts, like slaves, obey;
And birds that cut the air with wings,
And fish that cleave the sea.
How rich thy bounties are!
And wondrous are thy ways
Of dust and worms thy power can frame
A monument of praise.
[Out of the mouths of babes
And sucklings thou canst draw
Surprising honors to thy name,
And strike the world with awe.
O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.]

Psalm 8
Psalm 8
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 First Line: O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great Lyrics:
O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heav'nly state
Let men and babes proclaim.
When I behold thy works on high,
The moon that rules the night,
And stars that well adorn the sky,
Those moving worlds of light;
Lord, what is man, or all his race,
Who dwells so far below,
That thou shouldst visit him with grace,
And love his nature so?
That thine eternal Son should bear
To take a mortal form;
Made lower than his angels are,
To save a dying worm?
[Yet while he lived on earth unknown,
And men would not adore,
Th' obedient seas and fishes own
His Godhead and his power.
The waves lay spread beneath his feet;
And fish, at his command,
Bring their large shoals to Peter's feet,
Bring tribute to his hand.
These lesser glories of the Son
Shone through the fleshly cloud;
Now, we behold him on his throne,
And men confess him God.]
Let him be crowned with majesty,
Who bowed his head to death;
And be his honors sounded high,
By all things that have breath.
Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heav'nly state
Let the whole earth proclaim.

Psalm 8 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:3-9 First Line: Lord, what was man, when made at first Lyrics:
Lord, what was man, when made at first,
Adam the offspring of the dust,
That thou shouldst set him and his race
But just below an angel's place?
That thou shouldst raise his nature so,
And make him lord of all below;
Make every beast and bird submit,
And lay the fishes at his feet?
But, O! what brighter glories wait
To crown the Second Adam's state!
What honors shall thy Son adorn,
Who condescended to be born!
See him below his angels made;
See him in dust amongst the dead,
To save a ruined world from sin;
But he shall reign with power divine.
The world to come, redeemed from all
The miseries that attend the fall,
New made and glorious, shall submit
At our exalted Savior's feet.

Psalm 8 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2 First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Lyrics:
Almighty Ruler of the skies,
Through the wide earth thy name is spread;
And thine eternal glories rise
O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made.
To thee the voices of the young
A monument of honor raise;
And babes, with uninstructed tongue,
Declare the wonders of thy praise.
Thy power assists their tender age
To bring proud rebels to the ground,
To still the bold blasphemer's rage,
And all their policies confound.
Children amidst thy temple throng
To see their great Redeemer's face;
The Son of David is their song,
And young hosannas fill the place.
The frowning scribes and angry priests
In vain their impious cavils bring;
Revenge sits silent in their breasts,
While Jewish babes proclaim their King.

Psalm 8: How excellent in all the earth
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 First Line: How excellent in all the earth Lyrics:
1How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is thy name!
Who hast thy glory far advanc’d
above the starry frame.
2From infants’ and from sucklings’ mouth
thou didest strength ordain,
For thy foes’ cause, that so thou might’st
th’ avenging foe restrain.
3When I look up unto the heav’ns,
which thine own fingers fram’d,
Unto the moon, and to the stars,
which were by thee ordain’d;
4Then say I, What is man, that he
remember’d is by thee?
Or what the son of man, that thou
so kind to him should’st be?
5For thou a little lower hast
him than the angels made;
With glory and with dignity
thou crowned hast his head.
6Of thy hands’ works thou mad’st him lord,
all under’s feet didst lay;
7All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
that in the field do stray;
8Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
all that pass through the same.
9How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is thy name!

O thou to whom all creatures bow
Appears in 126 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou, to whom all Creatures bow,
within this earthly Frame,
Thro' all the World how great art Thou!
how glorious is thy Name!
In Heav'n thy wond'rous Acts are sung,
nor fully reckon'd there;
2 And yet Thou mak'st the Infant-Tongue
thy boundless Praise declare.
Thro' thee the Weak confound the Strong,
and crush their haughty Foes;
And so thou quell'st the wicked Throng
that Thee and Thine oppose.
3 When Heav'n, thy beauteous Work on high,
employs my wond'ring Sight;
The Moon, that nightly rules the Sky,
with Stars of feebler Light;
4 What's Man, say I, that, Lord, thou lov'st
to keep him in thy Mind?
Or what his Offspring, that thou prov'st
To them so wond'rous kind?
5 Him next in Pow'r thou didst create
to thy celestial Train;
6 Ordain'd with Dignity and State,
o'er all thy Works to reign.
7 They jointly own his pow'rful Sway;
the Beasts that prey or graze;
8 The Bird that wings its airy Way;
the Fish that cuts the Seas.
9 O Thou to Whom all Creatures bow
within this earthly frame,
Thro' all the World how great art Thou!
how glorious is Thy Name!
O thou to whom all creatures bow

health in God's garden,
hope in God's children,
regeneration that peace will complete.
