[Verse 1]
BbO Lord my God! When I in Ebawesome wonder
BbConsider all the Fworlds Thy F7hands have mBbade,
I see the Bbstars, I hear the Ebrolling thunder,
Thy pow'r thro'-Bbout the F7uni-veFrse dBbis-played,
[Refrain]
BbThen sings my soul, my EbSavior God to TBbhee;
How great Thou Fart, how great Thou Bbart!
Then sings my soul, my EbSavior God to BbThee;
How great Thou Dm7art, How Ebgreat FThou Bbart!
[Verse 2]
BbWhen thro' the woods and forest Ebglades I wonder
BbAnd hear the birds sing Fsweetly iF7n the Bbtrees;
When I look Bbdown from lofty Ebmountain grandeur
And hear the Bbbrook and feF7el the Fgentle breeBbze;

BbThen sings my soul, my EbSavior God to TBbhee;
How great Thou Fart, how great Thou Bbart!
Then sings my soul, my EbSavior God to BbThee;
How great Thou Dm7art, How Ebgreat FThou Bbart!
[Verse 3]
BbAnd when I think that God, His EbSon not sparing,
BbSent Him to die, I Fscarce can F7take it Bbin;
That on the cBbross, my burden Ebgladly bearing,
He bled and Bbdied to Ftake F7away my Bbsin;
[Refrain]
BbThen sings my soul, my EbSavior God to TBbhee;
How great Thou Fart, how great Thou Bbart!
Then sings my soul, my EbSavior God to BbThee;
How great Thou Dm7art, How Ebgreat FThou Bbart!
[Verse 4]
BbWhen Christ shall come with shout of Ebacclamation
And take me Bbhome, what Fjoy shall fiF7ll my Bbheart!
Then I shall Ebbow in humble aEbdoration
And there pro-Bbclaim, my FGod, how grF7eat Thou Bbart!
[Refrain]
BbThen sings my soul, my EbSavior God to TBbhee;
How great Thou Fart, how great Thou Bbart!
Then sings my soul, my EbSavior God to BbThee;
How great Thou Dm7art, How Ebgreat FThou Bbart!
