How great thou art?

Last Friday Cell Group, Uncle Yap showed us 1VCD. This VCD records the most famous 5 hymns in the world with its story how it was created. Amongst the 5 hymns, personally i love this hymn called 'How great thou art?' One of the church pianist was interviewed and he mentioned that a worship session will not be complete without singing this song. Also, he said that everyone will smile when they start singing this song. Then, i realised that it's really true because i smile with a thankful heart whenever i sing this song. so coincidently, we sang this song on Sunday in the church service.

This song is written by a Swedish Carl Gustav Bosberg and later on it was translated into English.

Verse 1
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made.
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power through-out 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!

Verse 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:
(Repeat Refrain.)

Verse 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:
(Repeat Refrain.)

Verse 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 there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
(Repeat Refrain.)
