Capo on 1st fret
              How Great Thou Art 
 
 
 
G5 
            G5            G5/C 
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder 
         G5       G5/D                 G5 
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; 
                            G5/C 
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, 
          G5             G5/D     G5 
Thy power throughout the universe displayed 
 
 
G5                   G5/C         G5 
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, 
G5/D                            G5 
  How great Thou art, how great Thou art. 
G5                    G5/C       G5 
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, 
               G5/C     G5/D  G5 
How great Thou art, how great Thou art! 
 
 
 
           G5            G5/C 
And when I think of God, His Son not sparing; 
         G5        G5/D               G5 
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; 
                             G5/C 
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, 
            G5            G5/D    G5 
He bled and died to take away my sin. 
 
G5                   G5/C         G5 
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, 
G5/D                            G5 
  How great Thou art, how great Thou art. 
G5                    G5/C       G5 
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, 
               G5/C     G5/D  G5 
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

E5/B        E5/A                      E5/D 
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation 
            E5/A       E               E5/A 
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! 
     E E5/A                   E5/D 
Then I shall bow with humble adoration, 
         E5/A          E              E5/A 
And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

How great Thou art, how great Thou art. 
                       E5/D         E5/A 
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, 
          E  - E5/A E            E5(F#m)-E5/A      E 
How great Thou art, how great Thou art, how great Thou art!
