Domine Deus noster

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 First Line: O God our Lord how wonderful Lyrics: 1 O God our Lord how wonderfull are thy works every where; Whose fame surmounts in dignity, above the heavens cleare! 2 Euen by the mouthes of sucking babes thou wilt confound thy foes For in those babes thy might is seen, thy graces they disclose. 3 And when I see the heavens hight, the works of thine owne hand: The Son the Moon and all the starres, in order as they stand, 4 What thing is man (Lord) think I then that thou dost him remember? Or what is mans posterity that thou dost it consider? 5 For thou hast made him little lesse than Angels in degree: And thou hast crowned him also with glory and dignity. 6 Thou hast prefer'd him to be Lord of all thy works of wonder: And at his feet hath set all things, that he should keep them under. 7 As sheep, and neat and all beasts else that in the fields do feed: fowles of the ayre, fish in the sea, and all that there in breed. 9 Therefore must I say once againe, O God that art our Lord: How famous and how wonderfull are thy works through the world.
