O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
consider all the works thy hand hath made I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder thy power throughout the universe displayed 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 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 When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then shall I bow in humble adoration and there proclaim my God how great thou art |
