515. O Lord, Our Lord, in All the Earth

1 O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth
How excellent your name!
Your glory you have spread afar
In all the starry frame.

2 When I regard the wondrous heavens,
Your handiwork on high,
The moon and stars you have ordained,
Oh, what is man! I cry.

3 Oh, what is man, in your regard
To hold so large a place!
And what the Son of man, that you
Do visit him in grace!

4 On man your wisdom has bestowed
A power none else has known;
With honor Thou hast crowned his head
With glory like your own.

5 Your mighty works and wondrous grace
Your glory, Lord, proclaim.
O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth
How excellent your name!

Amen.
