O LORD, our Lord, how excellent and mighty,
How high and holy is Thy wondrous name.
Oh, how exalted is Thy mighty glory,
Far up above and o’er the earth’s domain.
O LORD, our Lord, in mercy look upon me;
I am unworthy of Thy tender love.
O Holy One, forgive me of my sinning,
And help me daily look to Thee above.
O LORD, our Lord, who dwelleth in the heaven,
Incline Thine ear and hear my feeble plea.
Help me to serve Thee till my work is finished;
Then take me home, O LORD, to live with Thee.
– Morris Lynwood Smith (1964); based on Psalm 8; 17:5-7
