O, LORD! OUR GOD!
O, Lord! Our God!Wondrous wise art Thou!Before Thy throne our knees we bend,Before Thy crown we humbly bow.Thou rulest the sun and all the starsIncluding the planets Venus and Mars.
O, Lord! Our God!How wondrous wise art Thou!Thou hast created the earthAnd to the day hast given birth,And to the night Thou gavest gloomUntil the stars its darkness do consume.
Thou hast made the sun to rule by day,The moon to rule by night.But over all of them is man,Who found most favor in Thy sight.Yea, man was made to rule o'er allThy creatures, great and small.
O, Lord! Our God!How wondrous wise art Thou!Before Thy throne our knees we bend,Before Thy crown we humbly bow.
November, 1913.
