Lyrics:

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

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,

Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed

Refrain:

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee:

How great thou art, how great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee:

How great thou art, how great art!

Verse 2 (sung at the end)

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;

[Refrain]

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;

[Refrain]

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 there proclaim,

“My God, how great thou art.”

[Refrain]
