86. How Great Thou Art

D                        G
O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder

G        D       A         A7         D
Consider all the works Thy hands have made,

D                           G
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,

G              D       A   A7        D
Thy pow’r thro’out the uni-verse dis-played.

D                      G              D
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;

D              A        A7         D
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

D                      G              D
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;

D              A7                  D
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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 thro’out 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!

[Verse 2]
When thro’ 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;

[Verse 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;

[Verse 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!
