How excellent in all the earth

How excellent in all the earth,

Lord, our Lord, is thy name!

Who hast thy glory far advanced

Above the starry frame.

When I look up unto the heavens,

Which thine own fingers framed,

Unto the moon, and to the stars,

Which were by thee ordained;

Then say I, What is man, that he

Remembered is by thee?

O what the son of man, that thou

So kind to him should’st be?

For thou a little lower hast

Him than the angels made;

With glory and with dignity

Thou crownèd hast his head.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God whom we adore,

Be glory as it was, and is,

And shall be evermore.
