Psalm 8: O Lord, How Great in Majesty
Refrain:
O Lord, how great in majesty your name in all the earth!
Above the heavens your glory shines, proclaims your boundless worth.
Verse1:
When I behold the works you’ve made, the moon and stars set in their place,
I marvel at your boundless power, your mercy, and your endless grace.
Who are we that you take note of us frail creatures formed from clay?
And yet with glory you have crowned and honoured us in every way.
Refrain:
O Lord, how great in majesty your name in all the earth!
Above the heavens your glory shines, proclaims your boundless worth.
Verse 2:
You’ve made us rulers of your works, all things beneath our feet,
the beasts, the birds, the fish of seas – your sovereignty complete.
Through infants’ praise and children’s song, you silence every foe,
your strength displayed in simple faith; your mighty works made known.
Refrain:
O Lord, how great in majesty your name in all the earth!
Above the heavens your glory shines, proclaims your boundless worth.
Bridge:
Forever may your name be praised, from age to endless age,
for all creation lifts its voice, proclaiming you are great!
Let heaven and earth together sing, with one harmonious chord:
O Lord, our Lord, majestic is your name, forevermore!
Refrain:
O Lord, how great in majesty your name in all the earth!
Above the heavens your glory shines, proclaims your boundless worth.
