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 pow’r throughout
the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul,
my Savior God to Thee:
“How great Thou art,
how great Thou art!”
(2x)
(Solo: Leader)
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 Savior God to Thee:
“How great Thou art,
how great Thou art!”
(2x)
(Sisters)
And when I think that God,
His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
(Brothers)
That on the cross,
my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin;
Then sings my soul,
my Savior God to Thee:
“How great Thou art,
how great Thou art!”
(2x)
(Solo: Leader)
When Christ shall come
with shouts 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!”
(2x)
