1. 0 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 power throughout the universe displayed.
(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!
2. 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;
(Refrain:)
3. 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;
(Refrain:)
4. 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!
(Refrain:)
