Next to thine angels is he plac'd, And lord of all below. 5 Thine honours crown his head, While beasts like slaves obey, And birds that cut the air with wings, And fish that cleave the sea. 6 How rich thy bounties are! And wondrous are thy ways: Of dust and worms thy power can frame A monument of praise. 7 [From mouths of feeble babes And sucklings, thou canst draw Surprising honours to thy name! And strike the world with awe. 8 O Lord, our heav'nly King, Thy name is all divine: Thy glories round the earth is spread, And o'er the heavens they shine.

Author: Catherine Cameron Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 45 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Scripture: Psalm 8 Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens, infinite in time and place, flung the suns in burning radiance through the silent fields of space; we, your children in your likeness, share inventive pow’rs with you. Great creator still creating, show us what we yet may do. 2 We have ventured worlds undreamed of since the childhood of our race, known the ecstasy of winging through untraveled realms of space, probed the secrets of the atom, yielding unimagined pow’r, facing us with life’s destruction or our most triumphant hour. 3 As each far horizon beckons, may it challenge us anew, children of creative purpose serving others, hon’ring you. May our dreams prove rich with promise, each endeavor well begun. Great creator, give us guidance till our goals and yours are one.
