How Great Thou Art

Alan Jackson · Precious Memories: Volume II [2012]

(Carl G. Boberg - R.J. Hughes)

Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout, the universe displayed.

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.

When Christ shall come, with shouts of adulation

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.

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.

How great Thou art

How great Thou art...
