  • 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 power throughout the universe displayed

    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

    Then sings my soul my savior God to thee
    How great thou art (how great thou art)
    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 Writer/s: Stuart Keene Hine
