Hymn Lyrics

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 power 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!

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 see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

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 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.

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!

Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee;

E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me,

Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.

Though, like a wanderer, The sun gone down,

Darkness comes over me, My rest a stone;

Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.

There let me see the sight, An open heaven;

All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given;

Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
