From the Mouths of Babes and Infants

Communion Hymn for Lazarus Saturday
Anne Schoepp


Refrain:
From the mouths of babes and infants, You have founded praise.

O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is Your Name over all the earth! Your majesty is exalted above the heavens.

Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have perfected praise, because of Your enemies, to destroy the enemy and the avenger.

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set in place.

What is man, that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that you visit him?

You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor.

You have set him over the work of Your hands; You have subjected all things beneath his feet.

All sheep and cattle, yes and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, that move along the ocean paths.

O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is Your name over all the earth!
