how great thou art

(Suggested Capo 3) 

​

                         G                             C

 O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,

               G               D                        G

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;

              G                        C  

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

                    G                    D               G

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

 

 

 Refrain

                          G          C                     G

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,

                            D                       G

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

                         G              C                   G

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,

                             D                       G

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!)

 

 

                            G                         C

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;

                   G               D                G

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;

                G                        C

That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,

                  G                D              G

He bled and died to take away my sin.

 

 

               Refrain

 

 

                             G                                  C

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

                     G                           D                 G

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

                    G                      C

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,

                   G                    D                  G

And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"  

 

 

                Refrain
