G                       C    
Oh, Lord my God, When I in Awesome Wonder,    
         G       D           C         G    
Consider All the worlds thy hands have made;    
           G                 C    
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,    
            G             D     C       G    
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.    

D             G        C                G  F C F G     
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee    
G              D      D7             G    
How great thou art,   how great thou art

G                               C    
And when I think, that God, His son not sparing;    
            G      D          C       G    
sent HIm to die, I scarce can take it in;   
            G                C     
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing    
           G       D     C      G    
He bled and died to take away my sin.    

G                 G                   C    
When christ shall come, with shout of acclamation    
            G          D         C         G    
and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart    
     G C     G              C                 G   
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration and there proclaim    
    D        C          G    
"My God, How Great Thou Art!"
