O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

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 pow’r throughout the universe display

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 gently breeze

3.

And when I think that God, His son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scare can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing

He bled and died to take away my sin

4.

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 there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
