Gaze Upon the Heavens (Psalm 8: 3-4)

I gaze upon the heavens which you made,

Which by your gentle fingers were designed –

The moon and stars, your artwork there displayed –

And wonder I that you would pay us mind.

To whom shall we our awesome God compare?

Is there another like Him in the land?

Who else has woven waves with loving care

Or measured seas and oceans in his hand?

My God, my God, must you forsake my days,

When countless nights have heard me weep your name?

Yet you are lifted on a throne of praise

Above this worm deserving only shame.
