"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!
