oh 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 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 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 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 when christ shall come with shout of aclaimation 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
