F#m  F#m/E       Bm  E7                 A   D  E7
How  great  Thou art,  How great Thou art!
 
[Verse 1]
E         A              D            D#dim
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
         A/E     E          E7         A   E7
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
          A   A/C#          D              D#dim
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
              A/E        E   E7       A
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

[Verse 2]
E                A                 D        D#dim
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
             A/E        E       E7     A   E7
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
            A   A/C#         D              D#dim
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
            A/E       E        E7     A
And see the brook and feel the gentle breeze.

How great  Thou art,  How great Thou art!
 
[Verse 3]
     E7           A                   D          D#dim
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
            A/E        E         E7       A   E7
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
            A   A/C#         D      D#dim
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
            A/E        E        E7         A
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
 
[Chorus]
D/E  E        A  C#7   D       D#dim   A    E  A
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
    F#m        Bm   E                A
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
D/E  E         A  C#7   D       D#dim   A/E  C#/E# F#m
Then sings my  soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
