How Great Thou Art

Cross · Hymn · Declaration · Joy

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)
