How Great Thou Art

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 thro’out the universe displayed,

When thro’ 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;

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;

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!"
