Verse 1:
           G             C/G
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
         G                  D/F#      G
consider all the Worlds Thy hand hath made.
           G                C/G
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
               G            D/F#     G
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed

Chorus:
               G        C/G         G
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
               Am7                 G
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Verse 2:
            G                  C/G
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
             G                D/F#    G
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
               G              C/G
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
             G            D/F#    G
He bled and died to take away my sin
(Chorus)

Verse 3:
                  G                    C/G
When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation
            G                   D/F#      G
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
              G             C/G
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
             G                  D/F#       G
And there proclaim, My God, how great You are!
(Chorus x2)
