How Great You Are - 526
O Lord, my God,
When I, in wonder,
Behold
Your mighty creation,
The earth,
The sea,
And the star-filled heavens,
They all proclaim
Your perfect greatness.
Then my soul
Sings to You,
O Lord:
“How great You are!
How great You are!”
Then my soul
Sings to You,
O Lord:
“How great You are!
How great You are!”
When I behold
The stars,
So far above me,
Shining
With glorious splendor,
I remember,
O God,
The radiant glory
That my Jesus
Left behind
Because of His love for me.
I look
At the forests
Whispering in the wind,
And seeing
That You planted
Every tree,
I remember
The cross,
That cruel wood,
And in Your Son
I place
My faith.
And when I think
That You did not spare
Your beloved Son
Because of Your love
For me,
My heart,
Which You have won,
Overflows,
O Father,
With endless love.
And when Christ,
My beloved,
Returns,
Coming from heaven
To gather
His people,
I long
To rejoice
In the eternal home,
Beholding
Your holy face.
