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, Throughout the universe displayed;
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;
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;
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!
Refrain: Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee: How great Thou are, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee: How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
