Lyrics for How Great Thou Art Hymn

VERSE 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 power throughout the universe displayed

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

VERSE 2:

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:

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

VERSE 3:

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

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

1914 Swedish-American version

Stanza 1:

O store Gud, när jag den verld beskådar

Som du har skapat med ditt allmaktsord,

Hur der din visdom leder lifvets trådar,

Och alla väsen mättas vid ditt bord:

Refrain:

Då brister själen ut i lofsångsljud:

O store Gud, O store Gud!

Då brister själen ut i lofsångsljud:

O store Gud, O store Gud!

Stanza 2:

När jag betraktar himlens höga under,

Der gyllne verldsskepp plöja etern blå,

Och sol och måne mäta tidens stunder

Och vexla om, som tvänne klockor gå:

Refrain

Stanza 3:

När jag hör åskans röst i stormen brusa

Och blixtens klingor springa fram ur skyn,

När regnets kalla, friska vindar susa

Och löftets båge glänser för min syn:

Refrain

Stanza 4:

När sommarvinden susar över fälten,

När blommor dofta omkring källans strand,

När trastar drilla i de gröna tälten

Ur furuskogens tysta, dunkla rand:

Refrain

..........The End..........
