Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heavens they shine.
2 When to thy works on high
I raise my wondering 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 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 heavenly King,
Thy name is all divine:
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heavens they shine.] Scripture: Psalm 8
God's sovereignty and goodness; and Man's dominion over the creatures
