Trinity Psalter Hymnal ‎#8C

8C. Lord, Our Lord, Thy Glorious Name

1 Lord, our Lord, thy glorious name
all thy wondrous works proclaim;
in the heav'ns with radiant signs
evermore thy glory shines.
How great thy name!

Refrain:
Lord, our Lord, in all the earth,
how great thy name!
Thine the name of matchless worth,
excellent in all the earth;
how great thy name!

2 Infant lips thou dost ordain
wrath and vengeance to restrain;
weakest means fulfill thy will,
mighty enemies to still.
How great thy name! [Refrain]

3 Moon and stars in shining height
nightly tell their maker's might;
when thy wondrous heav'ns I scan,
then I know how weak is man.
How great thy name! [Refrain]

4 What is man that he should be
loved and visited by thee,
raised to an exalted height,
crowned with honor in thy sight!
How great thy name! [Refrain]

5 With dominion crowned he stands
o'er the creatures of thy hands;
all to him subjection yield
in the sea and air and field.
How great thy name! [Refrain]
