Excellent is the Eternal One’s name
In heaven and on earth none else can claim
All greatness and handiwork you have made
Foundation of all matter has been laid
Divine glory beyond the universe
Power beyond the stars you do disperse
What is human flesh, that you take notice?
Or a single blossom, like the lotus?
The birds of the air and life in the sea
Under the reign of one human life be
Lower than angels, yet given a crown
That flesh glorified may truly astound
Sun, moon and stars you have truly ordained
Your greatness and glory is unexplained
Psalm 8:1 “how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.”
