How Great Thou Art

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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:

[Refrain]
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!

[Verse 2]
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:

[Verse 3]
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.

[Verse 4]
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!
