O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder consider all the works Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed.
Refrain Then sing 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!
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 hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze:
Refrain
3 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
4 When Christ shall come with shouts 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!
