Elvis Presley How Great Thou Art Studio Version

[announceramyhayes]

I thought the few country Tv media who claimed Carrie underwood and Vince's version was as good as Elvis was absured. That being said Carrie and Vince did a great job!!!! Elvis version was How great Elvis Art in praise of our lord.

[SanctumVeri]

always thought this was the most beautiful gospel song, and it's written by a Swede <3 

[SanctumVeri]

wow... just woww.. i wish it would just keep going..

[synthsf007]

This is the most wonderful song, you would have to lose your soul not to fall to your knees in respect...

[MrJimt1967]

my mams song at her funeral,how great she was.

[youngsaintbarry2010]

hello i just lisen to elvis alot just the greast entertainer ever to stand on a stage or no mater where he goes

[awesomelittlebox]

I was baptized less than twenty four hours ago. Up at 1:40 AM. Had to hear it again. Going to bed.

[Gypsysunkiss]

Thanks Elvis wow this song says it all forever.

[xadalan]

God loves the king and the king loves god!!!

[ladyclyro11]

there are no words

[twinflame1000]

This song is so special to me as the choir was singing this when I was first touched by the Power of the Holy Spirit in Pittsburgh back in 1974......still makes me cry!

[denisederek]

Go Well Mum. Be with God, I can remenber you singing this from the bottom of your heart.

[YankeeRebel2]

excellent,thank you

[lewecca]

Unbelievable! Such a soul

[lgreecey]

I am in tears listening to this. This was a hymn at my dad's funeral many years ago x

[Nyxie777]

Really, who sings this better than Elvis? Nobody can even come close.

[DashingAmerican]

@Nyxie777 Um Carrie Underwood. Elvis is amazing, but Carrie's version covered me in chills.

[thenighthowler1]

there is a heaven. here sings an angel. rest in peace, elvis.

[ProclaimersRock]

Thank You xx

[gwncih1]

I played this song at both my parents funerals.  It still makes me cry.

[joeytwosubs]

@gwncih1 If they play this song and you're not crying, then they are playing it for you!

[riv4life618]

It doesn't get any better than that

Elvis sing this song very beatiful,great video

[icecold960]

this song is dedicated to my father, Bob L Phillips who was born on Nov 14 1955 and passed January 14 2010... it's been over one year going on two.... i miss you dad...... i remember this song playing at his funeral.... and it will always play in my heart...

[joeytwosubs]

@icecold960 That is awful young to pass on. Very sorry for your loss. The pain never goes away but it does get easier to bear. If you can, concentrate on how lucky you were to know him at all. There have been a lot of little babies born over the last 20 years without knowing their fathers. Lost to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are sitting together with your father at the foot of the throne. Hang in there. We are all in this together.

[anthony1bad351]

This song is dedicated to my grandfather Charles Rodger Siler who was born nov 8 1939 to june 26 1996. this song was played at his memorial on witch my grandmother chose for it being there high school dance that brought them to gather... We miss you and love you gramps all ways and for ever...

[Mad51Jon]

Great Job!!!

[cardinalslover09]

i love his voice!! beautiful!

[Blgbecky]

This is truly music, I wish the music of today had as much passion and beauty...

[dyldermarsil]

Elvis only won 3 grammys in his lifetime and 2 after his death. The 3 while he was alive were for Gospel music including the album entitled "How Great Thou Art".

[melaniepha32]

i did not now he is a chrishten



[lasvegaslady]

Elvis could sing anything, Gospels was no different, his voice was like gold

[gwncih1]

I played this song, along with Peace in the Valley, at both my parents funerals. Just incredible performances by Elvis.

[variezn34gm]

HI Mary: 50 Jackson's here. 

[011dallas]

I love Elvis long live the king

[spiderkitty01]

Nobody can sing a gospel like Elvis

[reachingsumwhere]

This hymn and Elvis' voice - can't get much better.

[caseygblake]

From what I understand, Elvis wanted to record a gospel song and when one of the members of his band suggested "How Great Thou Art" Elvis replied that he had not heard it before. The band rehearsed it with him and he absolutely nailed it in about 5 minutes! I grew up with Elvis' music in the late '50s but never really appreciated him then as much as I do now. What a genius.

[VamYang]

Jimmy Swaggart's voice sounds oddly similar to Elvis'. Search for: jimmy swaggart we shall see jesus

[oldiesfan52]

FANtastic!

[jim21641]

Elvis Presley could touch my soul with this song. No one could sing gospel music like Elvis Presley.

[Machomannorway]

When Elvis recorded this song, it brought tears to the recording engineers eyes. He used this song in lots of his live shows in the 70s, and it was a showstopper.

[jeddyhi]

He sings in heaven now.

[14jennifo]

@jeddyhi Amen, and my mom is singing with him. Praise God!

[mondo20100]

CARRIE UNWOODS VERSION WAS AWESOME.VERY EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL.STILL ELVIS' POWER OF GOSPEL MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVERAND CAN NEVER BE CHALLENGED.

[tamhan28]

@mondo20100 :))) you are SO CORRECT

[fpcrunner]

@mondo20100 why are you yelling at us?

[crowe78]

@fpcrunner some people really like their caps lock. They don't mean anything by it...then again, maybe mondo wanted more emphasis.

[deanaosment]

There has never been a more perfect voice and never will be!! God truly blessed this man!!!

[msmtoyou]

I have to agree with BarryH1701



[mstyblu4245]

The best rendition of this beautiful hymn that I have ever heard!!

[ARIZJOE]

A wonderful rendition by E. One of the best ever.

However, the pictures change and wipe across the screen at a rate incongruous with the meditative nature of this wonderful hymn.

[MrLonesomeJohn]

This song was full of some of music's greatest performers, Elvis, Blackwood Brothers, Imperials, and Lee Liberace so many more it's hard to remember them all. The Greatest version of this song ever recorded period.

[scorpioUSA]

This could easily be the best performance of "How Great Thou Art" ever! Especially when Elvis sings it at concerts.

[scorpioUSA]

This could easily be the best performance of "How Great Thou Art" ever!

[bocciroberto616]

Elvis sei sempre il migliore

[goodkarma33]

Elvis broke the house the day he was born. He really cleaned out heaven with the blessings he took with him to earth. Just look and listen to this guy. I'd hate to stand next to him. I wouldn't be half the man he was. Every fan, every backup singer, every security officer haven't got a pair of deuces next to his Royal flush, really.

[elvisuk]

another great video jackie...really great 5 stars all the time

[YTLOVER02]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE GOSPEL SONG . I LOOOOOOOVE ELVIS' VERSION .

[rockyrmt]

something about Elvis' 66 version of this great hymn, makes me want to hear it over and over

[Calfaeairdrie]

I quite like this Hymn. We sang it at my Papa's Funeral 6 years ago. It was my Papa's favourite Hymn. I cry everytime I hear & my Papa like me doing Elvis impressions.

[jennia201295]

simply amazing

[hicknan219]

I dedicate this to my mom. Happy 86th birthday! I love ya Keep on keeping on!

[shibby1965]

the best version on youtube by far

[megtor]

THE MAN is remarkable,what a voice he was truly blessed with, and the looks to go with it,one of my best songs by ELVIS?

[k5spa]

he put more and everything into this song, the song could have been written for himm, the rev, carl boberg would have smiled at this wonderful singer.

[CanadaRoksEh]

he sounds like that lion from wizard of oz

[Crolinsley58]

@CanadaRoksEh

It's called a vibrato foo'. Sadly singers don't be singing no more.

[AoiKageNoChikara]

Just beautiful! Not really a fan of Elvis but he's a talented singer, and the best he could do is record this beautiful Hymn

[viriatoist]

This is a very prayerful, genuine, rendition of this great hymn of praise to Christ.

[1wolfiesLady]

love him! <3

[gerard1875]

The king lives

G-d bless the King

Big G

[1wolfiesLady]

beautiful elvis, beautiful! <3 love it!<3

only you elvis, only you !

[martinsemrok]

Elvis was God's gift to the church, but the church didn't know how to use it.

[AtariMaxiTariyama]

@martinsemrok Hahaha! I doubt that Elvis, of all people, was the most Holy Spirit-inspiring man to ever live, even at the time. Elvis was not exactly a saint, though it was clear that God dealt with him on many occasions.

[MsGnorts]

@AtariMaxiTariyama I admire and respect Elvis very much, but what you say is sadly true.

[Crolinsley58]

@martinsemrok More like he didn't know how to use the Church.

[aaronracine]

@Crolinsley58 ELVIS HAD HIS OWN CHURCH,BECAUSE OF THE FANS,Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

[PresleyStudios]

amazing

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

perfect!

[willibear7]

I was married to this song....

[FirstElvis]

It don't get no better. It can't. Greatest entertainer in the History Of Man.

[LeftHandedFitch123]

this is my absolute favourite song by the King , it was sung at my grandads funeral but i always look at it as a positive song ... such emotion behind the lyrics !! i may only be 16 but i was raised with Elvis' songs through out my childhood and this song sticks out to me greatly x

[jepi71c]

Great song, I saw Elvis in the 70's at the spectrum in Philly,PA , his performance was great,he had the whole show there, singers, quartet , a comedian which was part of the introduction , it was worth the drive to Philly !!!

[johnnyM809]

One of my favourite hymns, brilliantly sung by Presley...

[dapunk78]

i cried

[elbesodelfinal]

This reminds me of my dad. He always sang this song. I miss you Dad. Happy Father's Day and I know your celebrating with Jesus and your soul is singing! I love you!

[mollyds]

Elvis we still miss you so so much and miss your beautiful smile. You will 4 ever be in our hearts love you 4 ever from all your Irish fans xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[123poohbear1]

There ain`t nobody who can sing this song like Elvis

[tabletop123]

I love the gospel music of Elvis. You can hear and feel something special about him in these moments. Just another great vocal by the King.

We Love you Elvis.

Thanks

[PaladinEvangelico123]

que hermosa vos tenia Elvis cuando.le cantaba a Dios.ojala se haya arrepentido de sus pecados antes de morir.

[Mike77USA]

The King is truely singing worship & praise to The King of King and Lord of Lords: No one sings gospel like Elvis there is a lot HOLY SPIRIT power in that great voice. I heard that song since i was a liitle boy and its still sound so spirit filled. We love you ELVIS ...You used your God given talent to bring joy and peace to the world and to your Lord and Saviour The LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!

We miss you and love you Elvis...we know you love JESUS

[Mike77USA]

The King is truely singing worship & praise to The King of King and Lord of Lords:

The LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!

Elvis your beautiful voice was definely a divine gift from GOD! You touch me and bring tears to my eyes when you sing this most beautiful sacred hymn!

We miss you and love you Elvis...we know you love JESUS and your'e singing praising to Him in that mansion in the sky!!

Mike777USA

[ukcatfan36]

Awesome song..so inspiring..esp this version by Elvis..you can tell he loved this song and gospel music in General!!!

[Crazylady20101]

RIP nanna 2/14/1938 2/25/2010

[boxerdogs11]

To Crazylady20101. This song was played at my mom's, dad's, and mother in laws funeral. Give me chills to hear it. A beautiful beautiful song. God bless you in you loss. I miss mine more and more everyday.

[sumtinsumtin1]

I love this dude and his music

[DesertOmaRose]

One of my all time favorites.  Elvis did it right. Thank you for posting. I still get chills.

[JohnLordtheOne]

This beautiful hymn will be sung at my twin brother Brian's funeral on March 15, 2010 at All Saints' Church in Shillington, Bedfordshire in England. Elvis, thank you for introducing it to me. Susan Boyle, thank you for making a wonderful new version of this wonderful hymn. May God bless you all in Brian's memory.

[VernieRocks]

The greatest gospel classic!

If you do not believe in a God!

Feel his power in this song!

It can roll rocks away from his tomb!

[22Cilla]

How appropriate, God's gift to us singing How Great Thou Art.

[CSTANCHIK]

very good song that was powerful one in elvis life. cstanchik

[LCon30]

I have this on LP from when I eas a kid and it was my grandmothers. I used to listen to it all the time on her old console stereo, and it holds a very big place in my heart.

[BoudiccaBlanc]

Hi Jackie61too, :-)

Thank you so much for posting this vid.

Elvis always said that there was only one king....Our Lord and Savior! Amen!

[TheAnav]

@BoudiccaBlanc Amen to that,my friend :) How Glorius is the Son of God <3

Shalom,peace of Christ upon you :)

[AmBiTiOzRyDaH]

Still the KING go Elvis R.I.P

[geo752]

elvis sings this with such emotion but its made easier because its a fantastic hymn in the first place

[mholdr]

beautiful when his voice was at its peak.

RIP my friend.

[cmwgmw]

Still the king xxxxxx

[fh346]

It just doesn't get any better than this.......He only received grammy's from 3 gospel albums. It must have been what he felt the most. This is a 5 ***** Thanks for posting.

[kellyelvis1]

If you want to know the REAL ELVIS. Listen to his Gospel stuff. This is what was In Elvis's Heart. Thecentre core of His life

[BarryH1701]

Lots of great gospel singers, but Elvis had the absolute greatest voice of them all, especially when it comes to songs like this one.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

@BarryH1701 Im an Elvis fan, but I wouldn't say he had the absolute GREATEST voice on this song, but would say His rendition like others before and after him is precious personal and power. Every artist brings to this song their own particular color and flavor and Elvis did it beautifully.

[AceOfJon]

Oh my God! That was beautiful. There is something that is still inspriring about singers like Sam Cooke and Elvis Presley, they really believed in their own words and sang from their very soul.

Rest In Peace Elvis, God Bless you!

[CORGWYN]

One of my favorite hymns. I think this is the first time I have heard Elvis' version of it.

[flyingelvis11]

I've been listening to Elvis all my life. And I have all of his 700 plus songs he did. Out of all of them, this or the live performances from '74 & '77 of this song gives me more of a chill. Also makes me wish even more that I wish I got to see him live and I'm only 24

[angeltoad]

This was my father's favourite hymn although h wasn't a regular churchgoer, We sang it at his funeral. It was wonderful and voices soared through me that were not mine, if you understand what I mean...

[djwaugust]

aye

[G2DAMAX]

thank you

[kiwihans]

After Elvis recorded this song, he stood slilently for over twenty minuts while his musicians got up and walked out. He was overcome with emotion. As a musician I was a teenager when Elvis records first ame to the UK, I am still singing his songs. You will always be the best, Elvisd. Pete 'Kiwi'Keegan

[markbanarsenal]

love this song , love this man, a truly gifted man of God. bless him , thank you for posting this im blessed to hear it.Amen.

[IheartKISS]

this was another song that was played at my grandma's funeral. she passed away a couple of months ago. i'm bringing a picture of her to my cousin's wedding in august and to my brother's high school graduation next year

[rosie71350]

Elvis has an absolutely beautiful voice, and he is singing the music of the Lord!!

This is great!!

[kpnilsson]

I will see you in Heaven. Great interpretation.

[Jackiej61too]

Written by Rev. Carl Boberg, a Swedish minister, in 1886. Elvis recorded it on May 25, 1966 at RCAs Nashville studios. The single was released three years later and did not chart. However, a live version from the 1974 album Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis won Elvis his third and final Grammy for Best Inspirational Performance. This studio version is available on Amazing Grace: His Greatest Sacred Songs.

[TheBevaLee]

@Jackiej61too I grew up listening to this song by Elvis. doesn't seem like this was the same version but I do recall how powerful an impact it had on me even though I was a small child.

[vonratibor]

@Jackiej61too WOW I was not aware of that I thought the recorded versiion back in 66 was the Grammy award song.. I have both versions..They both have their own awesome qualities.. Personally I prefer the 74 live version

[ElvisSacramento]

This was Elvis' most favorite gospel song and he easily has the very best renditions of this very beautiful and powerful masterpiece. I'm still waiting for the FTD label to issue a two disc deluxe edition of Elvis' "How Great Thou Art" album. I believe that FTD will issue a deluxe edition of this classic gospel album in 2009 or 2010. The best gospel music will always be Elvis' gospel music. Elvis had a voice like no other and Elvis loved God and Jesus will all of his heart. 10 Stars

[shibby1965]

@ElvisSacramento

From TN....so u knew him? good song...great singer...but dad's friend told him about it...he had never heard it before he rehearsed it for recording. Amazing Grace was his favorite.....
