How Great Thou Art

 

"I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth."
Psalm 34:1

Beautiful Autumn

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 power 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 Thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander

And here 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, 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 Thou art!

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 burdens gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin.

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 Thou art!

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!"

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 Thou art!
