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 grandeur
And 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!
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!
I trust you enjoyed it, comments please, Love ANGELA XXXX
HOW GREAT THOU ART was originally written in Russian
translated into Swedish and then into Elizabethan English.
The use of THEE\'S & THOU\'S gives it a Solemnity and Gravity
which is missing in HOW GREAT YOU ARE! It has been
translated into Dozens of different Languages but it aways
retains its Power & Glory! Like the Welsh all Moaris can sing
in tune and in harmony and it sounds really beautiful! If you
look at the words you will MAORI is pronounced PHONETICALLY.
This is a Blessing because when it is projected onto the screen
or if we are singing from a Maori Hymn Book we can pronounce
it correctly while we still learning the language. If you\'ve never
visited New Zealand, plan to visit asap! Love ANGELA XXXX
