How Great Thou Art

How Great Thou Art!

O Lord my God!  When I in awesome wonder


Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,


Thy power throughout the universe displayed:


When through the woods and forest glades I wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down

from lofty mountain grandeur


And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:


And when I think that God, His Son not sparing


Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;


That on the cross His burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin: 
When Christ shall come

With shout of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

and there proclaim, My God,


How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul,


my Savior God to Thee:


How great Thou art!


How great Thou art!


Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:


How great Thou art!


How Great Thou Art!
