O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
                            D

Thy power throughout the universe displayed

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.
Repeat 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.

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4:
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation,
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.

Repeat Chorus
