Lord, Our Lord, Thy Glorious Name
LORD, our Lord, Thy glorious name
All Thy wondrous works proclaim;
In the heavens with radiant signs
Evermore Thy glory shines.
How great your 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 fulfil Thy will,
Mighty enemies to still.
How great your name!
3
Moon and stars in shining height
Nightly tell their Maker’s might;
When Thy wondrous heavens I scan,
then I know how weak is man.
How great your name!
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 your name!
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 your name!
