Lyrics to the hymn, How Great Thou Art

 

  Mountains and trees                  These mountains look like a zebra

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals.🙂

Today, we are looking at the hymn, How Great Thou Art, by Carl Gustaf Boberg in 1885* and translated by Stuart H. Hine in 1939.

If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Carrie Underwood or Alan Jackson.

See you later!



      The Lyrics 

Verse 1 

Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the world's thy hands have made:

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed!

Chorus

Then songs my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior 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,

Chorus

Then songs my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

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!

Chorus

Then songs my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Verse 4 

When Christ shall come with shout 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!"

Chorus

Then songs my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Well, what do you think?

I really like Carrie Underwood's version of it; she holds the last few notes so long, it's amazing that she didn't pass out. 😃

Great job, Carrie!👍

*Some people say that Mr. Boberg wrote it in 1886, so I'm not sure what to believe.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
