"How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish poem written by Carl Gustav Boberg (1859--1940) in Sweden in 1885. The melody is a Swedish folk song. It was translated into English by British missionary Stuart K. Hine, who also added two original verses of his own composition. It was popularized by George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows during the Billy Graham crusades.[1] It was voted the United Kingdom's favourite hymn by BBC's Songs of Praise.[2] "How Great Thou Art" was ranked second (after "Amazing Grace") on a list of the favorite hymns of all time in a survey by Today's Christian magazine in

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 rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Saviour 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 shouts 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.)

Willie puts his heart and soul into a song....simplicity at its best.

[LianneJampayas]

that 1 who dislike this song may have a hearing problem. that's what he gets for going to discos and other places catering to antisocials.

[imbueto]

willie knows God, and the true pardon of his sin's...

[leraymond777]

Thank you so much! This is perhaps the best version of this song I have ever heard. :-)

[camotophat]

Huh. Just goes to show there's a lot about people you never really know. Good on ya Willy.

[Brodiesmum1]

Willie could probably do justice to any song, but in this case, he exceeded himself in terms of spirituality! Praise be to Willie for giving this hymn it's soul back.
