O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
consider all the works Thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling 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;

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!

But when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
sent him to die, I scarce can take it in;
that on the cross, our burden gladly bearing,
he bled and died to take away our sin;

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 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!

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!
