58. O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul my Saviour 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.
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.
4 When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home-what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God how great Thou art!
