How Great Thou Art

I created this video of photos and video clips I've taken with one of the most beautiful hymns ever written, sung by Selah.
"How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish poem written by Carl Gustav Boberg (18591940) in Sweden in 1885. The melody is a Swedish folk song. It was translated into English by Stuart K. Hine, who also added two original verses of his own composition. It was popularized by George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows during Billy Graham crusades. It was voted the United Kingdom's favourite hymn by BBC's Songs of Praise. "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 2001.

Just bought their Greatest Hymns album...put it in the player as I was driving down the road...Amazing Grace come and I had to pull off to the side of the road. I just couldn't keep driving...too dangerous while listening to this, lol. And then I thought it was safe again when the second part of this song came on...but that one kept me on the side of the road as well. NEVER has ANY song made me have to pull off the road. Selah made me late for work, lol.

@Daeven1 I'm not completely sure, but I think it's an African language. They use alot of it in their songs. They lived there several years with their missionary parents. If you like this one, listen to 'O Sacred Head'... awesome

I think the language is Congolese?

Does anyone know what language they switch to for the second verse?

HEY GRANNY I REALLY LOVE YOUR STUFF, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SUBCRIBE, AND DOES IT COST MONEY?
1HOSANNA 1 year ago
@1HOSANNA No, not at all. Subscribing simply means to be made aware each time a video is added to a channel. There is no cost. And thank you for your kind words. God bless.
