Today is Monday
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,
[Chorus]
Then sings my soul, My Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Savior God to Thee;
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; [Chorus]
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: [Chorus]
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, “My God, how great Thou art!” [Chorus]
(Carl Boberg, 1886)
