Hymnal: The Psalms of David #13 (1740) First Line: O Lord, our heavenly King Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our heavenly King,
Thy Name is all Divine;
Thy Glories round the Earth are spread,
And o'er the Heav'ns they shine.
2 When to thy Works on high
I raise my wond'ring Eyes,
And see the Moon complete in Light,
Adorn the darksome Skies
3 When I survey the Stars,
And all their shining Forms,
Lord, what is Man, that worthless Thing,
Akin to Dust and Worms?
4 Lord, what is worthless Man,
That thou shouldst love him so?
Next to thine Angels is he plac'd,
And lord of all below.
5 Thine Honours crown his Head,
While Beasts, like Slaves, obey,
And Birds that cut the Air with Wings,
And Fish that cleave the sea.
6 How rich thy Bounties are!
And wond'rous are thy Ways
Of Dust and Worms thy Pow'r can frame
A Monument of Praise.
7 [Out of the Mouths of Babes
And Sucklings, thou canst draw
Surprizing Honours to thy Name,
And strike the World with Awe.
8 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.] Topics: Adam the first and second their Dominion; Christ exalted to the kingdom; Christ his condescension and glorification; Christ praiseed by Children; Dominion of Man over Creatures; God his sovereignty and goodness to man; God made man; God praised by children; Goodness of God; Hosanna of the Childern Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English
