F/G        C              F             F#dim
Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
         C/G     F/G        G          C    F/G
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
          C                 F              F#dim
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
                 C/G     F/G G       C     F/G
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed


Refrain:

Then sings my soul  my Savior God to Thee
               Dm7 G    F/G        C   F/G
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
              C C/E    F             C/E Dm7 C
Then sings my soul  my Savior God to Thee
               Dm7 F/G             C
How great Thou art, how great Thou art


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 gentle breeze;

But when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
sent him to die-I scarce can take it in
that on the cross, our burden gladly bearing,
he bled and died to take away our sin;

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
and take me home-what joy shall fi1l my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration,
and there proclaim: My God, how great thou art!

New Century Hymnal (1995)

In 1995 the United Church of Christ released the New Century
Hymnal, which included an updated English language
translation of Boberg's "O store Gud" entitled "O Mighty
God, When I Survey in Wonder". According to the editors of
the New Century Hymnal, "This translation and arrangement
were created for The New Century Hymnal to restore the
meaning and flavor of Boberg’s original hymn."[51]

    O mighty God, when I survey in wonder
    The world that formed when once the word you said,
    The strands of life all woven close together,
    The whole creation at your table fed,

    Refrain: (vss 1-3)
    My soul cries out in songs of praise to you,
    O mighty God! O mighty God! (repeat)

    When your voice speaks in rolls of thunder pealing,
    Your lightning power bursts in bright surprise;
    When cooling rain, your gentle love revealing,
    Reflects your promise, arcing through the skies.

    The Bible tells the story of your blessing
    So freely shed upon all human life;
    Your constant mercy, every care addressing,
    relieving burdened souls from sin and strife.

    And when at last, the clouds of doubt dispersing,
    You will reveal what we but dimly see;
    With trumpet call, our great rebirth announcing,
    we shall rejoin you for eternity.

    Refrain: (verse 4)
    Then we will sing your praise forever more,
    O mighty God! O mighty God! (repeat)
