How Great Thou Art

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;

    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)

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;
    (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)

*Original English words were "works" and "mighty."
