How Great Thou Art
Reveling in Divine Majesty: How Great Thou Art Unveils Awe and Gratitude
Lyrics
Oh Lord my God
Addressing God, acknowledging the divine.
When I in awesome wonder
Expressing awe and amazement at creation.
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made
Reflecting on the vastness of God's creations.
I see the stars
Observing the stars, part of God's creation.
I hear the rolling thunder
Hearing the powerful sounds of nature.
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Acknowledging God's power seen in the universe.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
Expressing the singer's soul praising and acknowledging God's greatness.
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
-Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
-How great Thou art, how great Thou art
-Oh Lord my God
Reiteration of the soul's worship and praise to God's greatness.

Contemplating the sacrifice of God sending His Son to die for humanity's sins.

How great Thou art, how great Thou art
