"How Great Thou Art" is one of the most beloved hymns in Christian worship, known for its powerful expression of God's majesty and creation. Originally a Swedish poem titled "O Store Gud" by Carl Gustav Boberg in 1885, it was later translated into English by British missionary Stuart K. Hine, who also expanded the text. The hymn became globally popular after George Beverly Shea sang it during the Billy Graham Crusades in the 1950s. Its lyrics marvel at the wonders of creation, the sacrifice of Christ, and the promise of His return, making it an anthem of awe and gratitude. The hymn’s melody, based on a Swedish folk tune, coupled with its poetic reflection on God’s greatness, continues to inspire worshippers across various denominations .
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
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
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 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
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 then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
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
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
