HOW GREAT THOU ART

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 power 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
Author’s original words are “works,” “mighty” and “shall I bow” (Word changes approved for use in North America.)
1. Señor, mi Dios, al contemplar los cielos
El firmamento y las estrellas mil…
Al oir tu voz en los potentes truenos
Y verbrillar al sol en su cenit.
Estribillo
Mi corazón entona esta canción
¡Cuán grande es El! ¡Cuán grande es El!
Mi corazón entona esta canción
¡Cuán grande es El! ¡Cuán grande es El!
2. Al recorrer los montes ye los valles
Y ver las bellas flores al pasar…
Al escuchar el canto de las aves
Y el murmurar del claro manantial.
Estribillo
3. Cuando recuerdo del amor divino
Que desde el cielo al Salvador envió…
Aquel Jesús que por salvarme vino
Y en una cruz sufrió por mí y murió.
Estribillo
4. Cuando el Señor me llame a Su presencia
Al dulce hogar, al cielo de esplendor…
Le adoraré, cantando la grandeza
De Su poder y Su infinito amor.
Estribillo
