How Great Thou Art

Words by Carl Boberg, Translation & Music by Stuart K. Hine
Song inspired by Psalms 8

Verse 1
                G                     C         
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,

              G       D              C                G
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
              G                     C 
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
                G                   D  C       G   
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Chorus
        D            G           C                     G
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
G                     D           D7            G
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
        D            G           C                      G
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
G                     D          C               G
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Verse 2
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 see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
And when I think of 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.

Repeat Chorus

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 then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Repeat Chorus
