How Great Thou Art

How Great Thou Art

Each morn I wake, I think of  thee, O gracious God, we bow and sing your praise
Your grace abounds as wide as oceans deep, the sun, moon and stars resound your wonders
The earth, you fashioned by your hand and clothed with majestic seas,
Great mountains, plains and meadows , all creatures great and small you raised
How great thou Art.

O king of Kings, to you we owe our life, your precious son, the ultimate sacrifice
Good counselor ever vigilant to our needs, before your throne our homage shall we bring
 Your precious blood redemptive endless flow, sufficient  till we meet in paradise,
Where clothed in splendor and majesty, shall we behold our King
How Great Thou Art.

The blind can see, the lame can walk, the dead shall be resurrected because of thee
You raise your hands and  quiet the raging storm
Good shepherd, rescuer of the afflicted , in you our refuge and our fortress be
In you, we emerge untouched from the lion’s den, in you we shall trample the snake
A thousand armies shall we do battle with, as long as you remain at our ships helm
How great thou art.

 Praise be to you my King and my God
Who led his people out of Israel with his mighty rod
Who calls us to being from a tiny seed and holds us under the shelter of his wings
For our sake he will call a mighty army to our defense  against our enemies
Turn their water into blood, fill their skies with hail until we are set free
All nations shall come  know How Great Thou Art.
