Lord, How Majestic Is Your Name (Psalm 8)

tune: OLD HUNDREDTH by Louis Bourgeois (1551)

“Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow”

1. Lord, how majestic is Your name

In all the earth and all the skies

The little children sing Your praise

From infant lips Your songs arise.

2. When I consider all Your works

The moon and stars in vast array

I marvel at Your love for us,

The man and woman You have made.

3. A little lower than the host

Of angels gathered round Your throne;

You crowned our heads with glory

And gave us all the earth to own.

4. You gave us an exalted place

And, though You know us very well

Put all Your works beneath our feet:

All creatures that on earth do dwell.

5. Lord, how majestic is Your name

In all the earth, in all Your ways

We join to raise a thankful noise

We lift our hearts in grateful praise!
