121. How Great Thou Art
Written by Carl Gustav
Boberg in Swedish in 1885, translated into English by Stuart Hine. It was
popularized by George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows during Billy Graham crusades.
O 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.
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!
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 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 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 then proclaim:
My God, how great
Thou art!"
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!
