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

O thou of God and man the Son,
thee will I cherish, thee will I honor,
my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.

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.

Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and
honor, praise, adoration, now and
forevermore be thine.
