How Great Thou Art!
North and South
American Version:
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 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!
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:
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:
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!
* Stuart Hine gave permission for North and South America only to change his original words ‘works’ and ‘mighty’ to ‘worlds’ and ‘rolling’ and ‘Then shall I bow’ to ‘Then I shall bow’.
