How great Thou art

O Lord my God!

When I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works

Thy hands have made,

I see the stars,

I hear the mighty thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

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 burdens press and

Seem beyond endurance

Bowed down with grief,

To him I lift my face

And then in love He brings My sweet assurance

"My Child! for thee sufficient is My Grace."

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!
