God's sovereignty and goodness, and man's dominion over creatures

Hymnal: Psalms, carefully suited to the Christian worship in the United States of America #17 (1791) First Line: O Lord, our heav'nly king Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our heav'nly king, Thy name is all divine; Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o'er the heav'ns they shine. 2 When to thy works on high I raise my wond'ring eyes, And see the moon, complete in light, Adorn the darksome skies: 3 When I survey the stars, And all their shining forms, Lord, what is man, that worthless thing, A-kin to dust and worms? 4 Lord, what is worthless man, That thou should'st love him so? Next to thine angels is he plac'd, And Lord of all below: 5 Thine honors 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 wond'rous 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 honors 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 heav'ns they shine.] Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English
