How glorious is our heavenly King,
Who reigns above the sky!
How shall a child presume to sing
His righteous majesty!
How great His power is none can tell,
Nor think how great His grace;
Nor men below, nor saints that dwell
On high before His face.
Nor angels that stand 'round the Lord,
Can know His secret will;
But they perform His heavenly Word,
and sing His praises still.
Then let me join this holy train,
And my first offerings bring;
Eternal God will not disdain
to hear an infant sing.
My heart resolves, my tongue obeys,
And angels shall rejoice,
To hear their mighty Maker's praise
Sound from a feeble voice.

Is this in print or blog format only? Thank you for doing this...I'm about to start homeschooling and was looking into versions of the primer on amazon, but even the one that changed the "f"s back to "s"s was still worded awkwardly....calling God's majesty "dreadful", where here you have it "righteous". That makes much more since in today's language! Thank you again.
