Sovereign Lord, in all the earth
1 Sovereign Lord, in all the earth
how majestic is your name!
Infant voices from their birth
fervent praise proclaim,
fervent praise proclaim.
2 When I lift my eyes I see
all the stars you set in place:
who am I that I should be
favoured by such grace,
favoured by such grace?
3 Yet you prove to us your love
and exalt us very high,
making us as lords above
earth and sea and sky,
earth and sea and sky.
4 Sing aloud our saviour's worth
mercy, truth, and love proclaim:
Sovereign Lord, in all the earth
holy is your name,
holy is your name.
When sung to the tune CHARITY, the final repeat line of each verse is omitted.
After Psalm 8, Michael Perry (1942 - 1996)
