Dunfermline, C.M. [G]
| 1. |
1 O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth
how excellent Thy name!
Thou hast Thy glory spread afar
Upon the starry frame.
|
| 2. |
2 From mouths of sucklings and of babes
Thou hast a strength ordained,
That adversaries should be stilled
And vengeful foes restrained.
|
| 3. |
3 When I regard the heav'ns above
Which Thine own fingers framed,
And look upon the moon and stars
Which were by Thee ordained;
|
| 4. |
4 O what is man, that Thou dost him
Within Thy thought retain?
Or what the son of man, that Thou
To visit him dost deign?
|
| 5. |
5 For Thou a little lower hast
Him than the angels made;
A crown of glory and renown
Hast placed upon his head.
|
| 6. |
6 Thou mad'st him lord of all Thy works;
Beneath him all things be:
7 All flocks and herds, all beasts 8 and birds,
And fishes of the sea,
|
| 7. |
And whatsoever living thing
The paths of ocean claim.
9 O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth
How excellent Thy name!
