How great Thou art! |
|
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;
Then sings my soul....
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:
Then sings my soul....
When
Christ shall come with shouts 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....
