How Great Thou Art
LYRICS
1. O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
consider all the world’s 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!
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.
Refrain
4. 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.”
