Opening Hymn: “How Great Thou Art” #77 UMH
Words: Stuart K. Hine, 1953 Music: Stuart K. Hine, 1953
© 1953, renewed 1981 Manna Music, Inc.
1.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.
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 then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
Refrain

1.Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,
O thou of God and man the Son,
thee will I cherish, thee will I honor,
my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.
2. Fair are the meadows, fairer still the
woodlands, robed in the blooming garb
of spring: Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3.Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the
moonlight, and all the twinkling starry
host: Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines
purer than all the angels heaven can boast.
4.Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and
honor, praise, adoration, now and
forevermore be thine.
