How great Thou art

Elvis Presley

Muziek: Carl Boberg

(Nederlandse versie: Hoe groot zijt Gij)

 

O, Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,

consider all, the works thy Hand hath made.

I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,

thy Pow’r throughout, the universe displayed.

 

Refrein:           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.

 

But 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.

 

Refrein:

 

When Christ shall come, with shouts and 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!

 

Refrein:
