O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands havemade,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universedisplayed:
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!
When through the woods and forest glades Iwander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in thetrees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentlebreeze:
And when I think that God, His Son notsparing,
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 ofacclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill myheart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thouart!
