Author: Stuart K. Hine Hymnal: JS2012 #614 (2012) Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 First Line: O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Refrain First Line: Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee Lyrics: 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 throughout 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!
2 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; [Refrain]
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; [Refrain]
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! [Refrain] Topics: Creation; Global Family; Power of God; Praise; Salvation; Second Coming Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder]
