O Lord, Our Lord, in All the Earth

44 O Lord, Our Lord, in All the Earth

1 O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth,
   how excellent Thy name!
   Thy glory Thou hast spread afar
   in all the starry frame.

2 When I regard the wondrous heav'ns,
   Thy handiwork on high,
   the moon and stars ordained by Thee,
   "O what is man?" I cry.

3 O what is man, in Thy regard
   to hold so large a place,
   and what the son of man, that Thou
   dost visit him in grace.

4 On man Thy wisdom hath bestowed
   a pow'r well nigh divine;
   with honor Thou hast crowned his head
   with glory like to Thine.

5 Thy mighty works and wondrous grace
   Thy glory, LORD, proclaim,
   O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth,
   How excellent Thy name.
                         Psalm 8
                         The Methodist Hymnal 1964 edition

Hymnary.org adds two verses:

2 From lips of children, Thou, O LORD
   hast mighty strength ordained,
   that adversaries should be stilled
   and vengeful foes restrained.

6 Thou hast subjected all to him,
   and lord of all is he,
   of flocks and herds, and beasts and birds,
   and all within the sea.
