How Great Thou Art!

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.

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 grandeurAnd see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

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.


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 then 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!


There are many things that stir my heart to adoration of the one true King, but none like music. Old Hymns to be exact. I love a good worship song, filled with longing and praise and adoration, but the deep well of emotion, feeling and theoligy of a Hymn is for me. Just reading the words stirs my soul to " look up" and feast on the amazing grace and life that has been given to each of the Kings children who trust in Him.

The verse that talks of God not sparing his Son, and sending him to die just melts my heart. It makes me want to come before my King pure and spotless, covered in the blood of Jesus. In joy I can, because on the cross Jesus bore my burden, bled and died and took all of sin on himself.
What other reaction can I have than for my soul to sing. My King is great.
