O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider all the works thy hand hath made, I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed; THEN SINGS MY SOUL, MY SAVIOUR 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; 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: When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home - what joy shall fill my heart! Then shall I bow in humble adoration And there proclaim, my God, HOW GREAT THOU ART! |
Ut me, Deus, stupefacis mirantem tot creavisse dexteram tuam, cum sidera tum tonitrum sonantem, tuamque in omnibus potentiam, SALVATOR, CANTAT ANIMA TIBI: TU QUANTUS ES! TU QUANTUS ES! Nemoribus et saltibus silvanis cum dulce cantant volucres mihi,. despicio vel arcibus montanis, fons murmurat foventque zephyri; Deum sciens non Filio parcentem misisse (vix credetur) in Crucem ibique eum peccata suggerentem, ut solverer, fudisse sanguinem: Quod gaudium, cum, Christe, conclamatus domum me vocaturus venies! Clamabo te cum Patre veneratus humiliter "Deus, TU QUANTUS ES!" |
