Lord, our Lord, majestic is Thy name throughout the whole wide earth; You display and set Your splendor o’er the heav’ns which show Your worth. From the mouths of infant children, You establish strength and praise; Make the enemy and vengeful cease before Your wondrous ways.
When I see Your glor’ous heavens, moon and stars which You ordain; What is man that You regard him, son of man with care maintain? Yet You made him slightly lower than the angels high above, Crowning him with glory, honor; just beneath the God of love.
You made him to rule creation, put all things beneath his feet; Sheep and oxen, beasts and creatures, birds of heav’n and fish of sea. All that swim within the pathways of the sea declare Your worth; Lord, our Lord, majestic is Thy name throughout the whole wide earth.
