Author: Stuart K. Hine Hymnal: Sing Joyfully #16 (1989) First Line: O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder Refrain First Line: Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee Lyrics: 1 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 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 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)
