How Great Thou Art
Lyrics ~ Carl Boberg, 1859 - 1940
Lyrics ~ Carl Boberg, 1859 - 1940
English Translation ~ Stuart K. Hine, 1899 -
Stanza 1:
O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all
The works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars,
I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow'r throughout
The universe displayed;
Stanza 2:
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I 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 Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Stanza 3:
When Christ shall come,
With shouts 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 Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

You must have a heart of worship, Andrea! Blessings,
Sita
Yes indeed our God is great and how that is elucidated in this glorious hymn.We sing it quite of ten in Hindi in our church
Hearing old familiar hymns sung in different languages reinforces our status as a global family, doesn't it? Blessings to you, Amrita. Praying His comfort is yours as you remember your Dad.
Love, Sita
Sandi Patty sings like an angel. This song is one of my old favorites. I remember watching a thunderstorm over the ocean in Florida a few years back, and this song kept coming into my mind. I had to just stop everything and spend time worshiping the Creator. God is indeed great!
Lisa, Sandi's voice is as big as a thunderstorm, isn't it--bringing us to worship immediately..blessings,
Sita

MsRay...and with good reason..those words speak eternal truth...blessings,

Sandi Patti is one of those gifted singers that is hard to compare. She brings dynomite to a song! Thank you for sharing.
