The hymn "How Great Thou Art" was inspired by a young Swedish minister named Carl Boberg who wrote the lyrics after walking home in a thunderstorm. Over 40 years later, an English missionary named Stuart Hine translated the hymn into English after hearing a Russian translation of the original Swedish song. "How Great Thou Art" became widely popular after being performed many times at the Billy Graham Crusade in New York City in 1957. The hymn reflects on the power and majesty of God through references to nature.

1. How Great Thou Art
By
BRACHEON
Will You Of a
Little You among the gods, O
Who is like
LORD?
Who is like You, majestic in
holiness,
Awesome in praises, working
wonders? Exodus 15:11

2. There is no one like You among the
gods,
O Lord, Nor are there any works
like Yours.“ Psalm 86:8

3. A young minister’s two-mile walk in the rain
provided the inspiration for “How Great Thou
Art.” The Reverend Carl Boberg of Monsteras,
on the southeast coast of Sweden, was 25 years
old when he wrote the lyrics of this song after
trekking through a thunderstorm from a church
meeting two miles away
This great hymn has a history that stretches
back over a hundred years. The original song
was written by a young Swedish preacher, Carl
Boberg, and first published in 1886, under the
title O Store Gud. Boberg wrote a poem, not
meaning to write a hymn, but later heard it
being sung to an old Swedish tune.

4. More than forty years later, an English
missionary, Stuart Hine, first heard the song in
Russia. He and his young wife were missionaries
to the Carpathian area of Russia, then a part of
Czechoslovakia. There, they heard a very
meaningful hymn that was a Russian translation
of Carl Boberg’s O Store Gud (O Great God).
While ministering in the Carpathian Mountains,
Hine found himself in the midst of a threatening
storm. The thunder, as it rolled through the
mountain range, was so awesome that it
reminded Hine of the beautiful Russian hymn
that had already become so dear to him. English
verses began to form in his mind, verses that
were suggested by portions of the Russian
translation.

5. How Great Thou Art is probably the all-time
favorite hymn today. Although its origin had
roots in Europe, it was not widely known until
1957, when the Billy Graham Crusade in New
York City launched it on a never-ending spiral
around the world. It was performed nearly a
hundred times during those meetings and
countless times ever since.
One cannot sing this majestic hymn of praise
and adoration without realizing anew the
omnipotence of the Creator who did it all.

6. Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God,
to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art.

7. O Lord my God, When
I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the
worlds Thy Hands

8. I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,

the universe displayed.

11. Praise be to the Lord God,
the God of Israel ,
the only doer of wonders ~ Psalm 72:18

12. Let men give praise to the Lord
for his mercy, and for the wonders which
He does for the children of men!

13. When through
the woods

14. And forest glades I wander

15. And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees .

breeze.

19. Herein is love, not that we loved God
but that he loved us,
and sent his Son
to be the propitiation
for our sins.
1John 4:10

20. Jesus said to him
I am the way, and the truth,
and the life
no one comes to the
Father
but through Me."
John 14:3

21. Original Swedish
Lyrics
O store Gud, när jag
den värld beskådar,
Som du har skapat
med ditt allmaktsord ,
Hur där din visdom
leder livets trådar,
Och alla väsen mättas
vid ditt bord.

22. Då brister själen ut i
lovsångsljud:
O store Gud! O store
Gud!
Då brister själen ut i
lovsångsljud:
O store Gud! O store
Gud!

23. O Lord my God, great are
the wonders which you
have done in your thought
for us; possible to put them
it is not
out in order before you;
when I would give an
account of them, their
number is greater than I
may say ~ Psalm 40:5

24. Then we which are alive and
remain
shall be caught up together
in the clouds, to meet the Lord
with them
in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord. 1 Thes
4:17

25. When Christ shall
come,
With shout of acclamation,

26. And take me home,
what joy shall fill my heart.

27. Then I shall bow,
in humble
adoration ,

28. And Ithen bow,
Then shall
proclaim: "My
in humble
adoration , great
God, how
Thou art!"
