How Great Thou Art

1    O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
    consider all the works thy hand hath made,
    I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
    thy pow'r 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!


2    When through the woods and forest glades I wander,
    I 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;  Refrain


3    But 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;  Refrain


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!”  Refrain
