"How Great Thou Art" by Carl Gustav Boberg (1859-1940)

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works Thy hand hath made.

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

 

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

 

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:

 

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

 

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:

 

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

 

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!

 

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee:

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

 

 

 

 

"Lean on My Ample Arm" by Theodore E. Curtis (1872-1957)

Lean on my ample arm,

O thou depressed!

And I will bid the storm

Cease in thy breast.

Whate'er thy lot may be

On life's complaining sea,

If thou wilt come to me,

Thou shalt have rest.

Lift up thy tearful eyes,

Sad heart, to me;

I am the sacrifice

Offered for thee.

In me thy pain shall cease,

In me is thy release,

In me thou shalt have peace

Eternally.
