Kör:
Då brister själen ut i lovsångsljud:
O store Gud! O store Gud!
Då brister själen ut i lovsångsljud:
O store Gud! O store Gud!
Carl Gustav Boberg, 1886
What can I say?
Downright magnificent.
Translated into american english, these words really are beautiful, although I prefer the original, swedish lyrics.
How Elvis put it in (american) english:
Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To 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 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
Thank you for posting that! That's the first time I've sung a word in Swedish, half my ancestral lineage!
Singing 'How Great Thou Art' across the world here in California, praying for Sweden, reminds me how powerful He is, how real Christians are united, and what a wonderful Lord we serve!
