(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
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 pow’r thru-out 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 Saviour God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
2
When thru 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 scare 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!
