Consider all the worlds Thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow'r thruout 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 But 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] Topics: Advent Second; Everlasting Life; God's Hand in Nature; Jesus Christ His Cross; Worship and Adoration Scripture: Psalm 111:2 Languages: English Tune Title: O STORE GUD
