Fits tune: Royal Oak
('All things bright and beautiful')
Based on Psalm 8
******
Chorus
You our Lord are great o'er all
And to you each one call
We shall worship, praise your name
You ever stay the same
Your name, O Lord, excellent
You us good things have sent
Your glory great, and honour due
Creator God, to you
Chorus
All in the earth, sea, sky, seen
You have made all, not mean
But all show of your making sure
We praise you and adore
Chorus
And so great God, my thoughts be
You look on man, him see
Crown him with honour, glory
Redeem, and set him free
Chorus
Dominion you to man give
That he should work and live
Tend your creatures lovingly
Care-taking destiny
Chorus
Given rule o'er all you made
Your beauteous works displayed
Grant mankind power to serve
You faithfully, ne'er swerve
Chorus
Ne'er swerve from devotion strong
Honour you all day long
Praise your name, join angel throng
Ne'er ceasing joyful song
Chorus
