What are We?

"O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth, who hast set Thy glory above the heavens! When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon the and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:3,4).

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
Is Your name in all the earth!
Your own beloved Son You sent
To pay the price our souls were worth.

What are we, then, our loving God,
That You would think upon us so,
And visit us upon this sod,
And to the cross for sinners go?

Lost in wonder at Your grace,
We give thanks, Lord, for Your love!
Jesus, take the highest place
In our hearts and realms above!
