Oh Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, 
             C    G                     C 
Consider all the works, Thy hands have made. 
             C               F           
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, 
            C              G            C 
Thy power throughout, The universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God to Thee,

How great thou art, How great thou art.

When Christ shall come, With shouts of adulation, 
              C         G                 C 
And take me home, What joy shall fill my heart. 
               C             F 
Then I shall bow, In humble adoration,

And there proclaim My God, How great Thou art.

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God to Thee
