VERSE 1
How Eex-cel-lent in B7all the earth, C#mLord our B7Lord is Thy Ename,
Who Ehast Thy glo-ry E7far ad-Avanced A-B7bove the star-ry Eframe.
From G#mouths of babes and G#7in-fants, Lord, EStrength by Thee is D#or-dained,G#  
So Ethat Thy en-e-E7mies be Acrushed, Thy Bvenge-ful foes re-Estrained.
VERSE 2
When EI look up un-B7to the heav’ns C#mWhich Thine B7own fin-gers Eframed,
Un-Eto the moon and E7to the Astars, Which B7were by Thee Eor-dained,
Then G#may I, what is G#7man that Thou Eshould be D#mind-ful of G#him?
Or Ewhat, the son of E7man, that AThou So Bkind to him should Ebe?
VERSE 3
For EThou has made Him B7lit-tle less C#mThan the B7an-gels a-Ebove,
With Eglo-ry and with E7dig-ni-Aty, With B7hon-or crown’d his Ehead.
Ap-G#point-ed Lord of G#7all Thy works, EAll things D#un-der His G#feet,
All Esheep and ox-en, E7yea, and Abeasts That Bin the field do Estray.
