Lord, our Lord, in all the earth,
how great thy name!
Thine the name of matchless worth,
excellent in all the earth;
how great thy name!
2 Infant lips thou dost ordain
wrath and vengeance to restrain;
weakest means fulfill thy will,
mighty enemies to still.
How great thy name! [Refrain]
3 Moon and stars in shining height
nightly tell their maker's might;
when thy wondrous heav'ns I scan,
then I know how weak is man.
How great thy name! [Refrain]
4 What is man that he should be
loved and visited by thee,
raised to an exalted height,
crowned with honor in thy sight!
How great thy name! [Refrain]
5 With dominion crowned he stands
o'er the creatures of thy hands;
all to him subjection yield
in the sea and air and field.
How great thy name! [Refrain]
