Lyrics How Great Thou Art

[Verse 1]

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works Thy hands have made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow’r thru-out the universe displayed!

[Chorus]

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!

[Verse 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,

[Chorus]

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!

[Verse 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!

[Chorus]

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!

[Verse 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!

[Chorus]

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!
