Anthem The Majesty and Glory of Your Name arr. Tom Fettke / Choir Text from Psalm 8, adapted by Linda Lee Johnson When I gaze into the night skies and see the work of your fingers; The moon and stars suspended in space. Oh, what is man that you are mindful of him? You have given man a crown of glory and honor, And have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation: The beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea. Oh what is man that you are mindful of him? O Lord, our God the majesty and glory of your name Transcends the earth and fills the heavens. O Lord, our God; little children praise You perfectly, And so would we, and so would we. Alleluia. The majesty and glory of your name, Alleluia!

Cameroonian Melody Ralph Johnson /Louez le Seigneur In Cameroonian church services, the Bible is often brought forward as part of a “Lectionary Procession” before the scripture readings. Typically led by the women of the congregation, lively dance and hymns of praise accompany the movement. "Louez le Seigneur" is an example of this traditional form crossing over into popular hymnody. Louez le Seigneur! Louez son saint nom, Alleluia! Praise the Lord! Praise his holy name, Alleluia!
