1. Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
How Great Thou Art
Oh 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 ,
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
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
