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

Your welcome.
Thanks Brian/Angela. Times for more wanderings through them woods and forest glades, me thinks - If we have the time!
Thanks STEVE, Pleased you enjoyed it. You would love the Maori singing, always in TUNE! Lots of nice Woods & Forests in NZ, Yours ANGELA.
Thanks FRIEND, these days I think people spell how they wish. It arises from texting etc. Thanks for your comment hope my spelling is OK! Yours ANGELA (I'm Brian's Fiancee and we share this site).
This song is also one of my favorite hymns. My first is, 'Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus'.
Persistence is key.
THANK YOU FRIEND ~ It is a Worldwide favourite because it glorifies our Creator God! It is very uplifting hymn to sing at a Funeral. I love 'Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus' as well. Thank you for your positive witness. Spiritual Love ANGELA
A really beautiful song Angela! Thanks so much for sharing! Sister Christina. Hugs!
Good Morning SISTER! Im loving NEW ZEALAND I know you will enjoy the MAORI singing, its like being in HEAVEN! I miss BRIAN of course but we talk every day. I hope you had a good weekend with your Family. It is WINTER here but it reaches about 55F in the daytime and no frost or snow and there are still lots of flowers. Trust in the LORD, Spiritual Love, Tu Hermana ANGELA XXXX
So good to hear from you! I would love to have a bit of a cool down. A winter where it only gets to 55F? Awesome! Glad you are having so much fun. Thinking of you. Tu hermana espirtual--Christina
