The second verse of HOW GREAT THOU ART always hits me this time of year or in spring or winter or summer
Verse 1:
O 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.
Chorus:
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!
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
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
Verse 4:
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then shall I bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim, “My God, how great Thou art!”
Chorus
Those song verses stir the soul.
Thank you for posting!
We serve a GREAT GOD.
Love that song.
The most beautiful version of “How Great Thou Art” was performed by Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill, IMHO.
It is hard to believe that great big voice came out of that tiny gal!
It brought me to tears!
I have posted the link to her performance, and I hope you enjoy it!
one of my favorites.. yet I almost never heard the second verse. So lovely. Thx for posting.
One of my favorites! I want it sung at my funeral!
