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:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
« How great Thou art! » (x2)
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;
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
« How great Thou art! » (x2)
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.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
« How great Thou art! » (x2)
4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall feel my heart.
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
« How great Thou art! » (x2)
