“O LORD OUR LORD”
Believe it or not but I sang in the chorus in college (Alabama Christian College/Faulkner University). It really wasn’t hard to get into the chorus because there were so few students they were willing to accept incompetent singers like me. One of our chorus trips stands out in my mind. We had gone to sing at the Sixth Ave. Church of Christ in Jasper, AL where Bro. Gus Nichols preached. It was cold and the school bus we rode in didn’t have a heater. However, getting to sing where Bro. Nichols preached was worth the trip.
Every time the chorus did a program this song based on Psalm 8 was sung:
O Lord, our Lord how excellent Thy name
How excellent is Thy name in all the earth
Who has set Thy glory above the heav’ns!
We’ll praise Thy holy name for ever, evermore
O Lord, our Lord how excellent Thy name
O Lord, our Lord how excellent Thy name
We will praise Thy name for evermore
We will praise Thy name for evermore
We will laud and magnify Thy name for evermore
O Lord, our Lord how excellent Thy name
O Lord, our Lord how excellent Thy name
We will praise Thy name for evermore
We will praise Thy name for evermore
We will laud and magnify Thy name for evermore
Forever, and ever
We will magnify Thy name
Forever, and ever
We will magnify Thy name
Amen, Amen, Amen

What a joy it is to praise and magnify the name of The Lord.
