O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder

O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the star, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my saviour God to thee
How great though art, how great thou art (*2)

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 shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy will ill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim
My God, how great thou art
