O Lord my God, When I in
awesome wonder,
Consider
all the
worlds Thy Hands have made;
{see
just a small sample - click on 'Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have
made...'}
I see the
stars, I
hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power
throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my
soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou
art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God,
to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou
art!
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 see the brook,
and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my
soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou
art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God,
to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou
art!
And when I think, that
God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I
scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross,
my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to
take away my sin.
Then sings my
soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou
art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God,
to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou
art!
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 then proclaim:
"My God, how great Thou art!"
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
Originally a Swedish folk melody,
