WHAT IS MAN
AWhat is man that you are Dmindful of him Lord
You made the Astars, you made the Dsun
And all the Aworlds that came to Dbe at your command
What is Aman? What has he Ddone?
Then you Gcrown him with glory and with Dhonor
Give him domGinion over land and sea and Aair
And store Dup an inheritance in Gheaven
Oh what is Dman that Ayou would Dcare?
What is Aman that you would Dlet him live at all
To shed the Ablood of his own Dkind
And ever Afail to even Dfollow where you call
What is Aman? Why do you Dmind?
Yet you Gcrown me with glory and with Dhonor
Give me domGinion over land and sea and Aair
And store Dup my inheritance in Gheaven
Oh, what is Dman, that you Acare?
What is Dman, Lord, that Ayou would Dcare?
