Christadelphian Hymn Book ‎#5

5. Psalm 8

1 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent,
Thy name on earth is known!
Thy glory in the firmament,
How wonderfully shown!

2 When I behold the heav’ns on high.
The work of Thy right hand,
The moon and stars amid the sky,
Thy lights in every land—

3 Lord, what is man, that Thou should'st deign
On him Thy love to place,
As king and priest with Christ to reign,
And see him face to face?

4 O Lord, how excellent Thy name!
How manifold Thy ways!
Let time Thy saving truth proclaim,
Eternity Thy praise.
