How Great Thou Art

VERSE 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!

VERSE 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
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!

VERSE 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
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!

VERSE 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
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!
