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!
