HYMN, Taken from Psalm VIII.
O Lord, Thou Sov'reign Lord of all,
How glorious is thy Name:
How glorious o'er this earthly Ball,
And yon celestial Frame!
By Infants who begin to try
Their yet unpractis'd Tongue,
To silence bold Impiety,
Thy Praises shall be sung,
Nor to the starry Skies alone
Thy Presence is confin'd:
But thou on Earth hast made it known
In Bounty to Mankind.
The lab'ring Steer and bleating Sheep
And Fowl his Rule obey;
And all that in the spacious Deep
Pursue their watry Way.
How glorious is thy Name:
How glorious o'er this earthly Ball,
And yon celestial Frame!
By Infants who begin to try
Their yet unpractis'd Tongue,
To silence bold Impiety,
Thy Praises shall be sung,
Nor to the starry Skies alone
Thy Presence is confin'd:
But thou on Earth hast made it known
In Bounty to Mankind.
The lab'ring Steer and bleating Sheep
And Fowl his Rule obey;
And all that in the spacious Deep
Pursue their watry Way.
237
Chorus.
O Lord, thou sov'reign Lord of all,How glorious is thy Name;
How glorious o'er this earthly Ball,
And yon celestial Frame.
