About this Hymn
This new treatment of Psalm 8 is a more classical setting that works well as an opening hymn to a service and particularly well with orchestra and choir. It finishes majestically with an "Alleluia" doxology.
Lyrics
Verse 1
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the skies by your almighty word. In the sound of children's praise, you have established strength. Our eyes we lift, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Chorus
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Verse 2
O Lord, our Lord, when we contemplate the beauty of your works, oh, what is man that you think of him, or stoop to give him worth? Lower than the angel hosts, with glory we are crowned. What joy, what bliss, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Verse 3
O Lord, our Lord, you have placed the world beneath our rule and care; o'er ev'ry creature upon the land, within the sea and air. Ev'ry breath a gift to praise the King all nature serves. Our song is this: how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Verse 4
O Lord, our Lord, all creation cries the wonders of your name. Where mountains rise and where oceans kneel, all teeming life proclaims, with the everlasting song of your redeeming works: how vast, how rich, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
