Author: Stuart K. Hine; Carl Gustav Boberg Hymnal: CH1995 #33 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain 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 power throughout the universe displayed.
Refrain:
Then sings 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:
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:
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! Topics: God Beyond All Name and Form Praise to God; Creation; God; God: Creator; God: Majesty; Jesus Christ: Savior; Nature; Praise Languages: English Tune Title: O STORE GUD
