And when I think that God his Son not sparing 
            C                G7      C 
Sent Him to die I scarce can take it in 
     G7     C               F 
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing 
            C             G7     C

And take me home what joy shall fill my heart

And there proclaim my God how great Thou art
