How Great Thou Art

1=Bes 4/4

Versi Version 1

Bila kulihat bintang gemerlapan

dan bunyi guruh riuh kudengar,

ya Tuhanku tak putus aku heran,

melihat ciptaan-Mu yang besar.

Maka jiwaku pun memuji-Mu,

sungguh besar Kau Allahku.

Maka jiwaku pun memuji-Mu,

sungguh besar Kau Allahku.

Ya Tuhanku ‘pabila kurenungkan

pemberian-Mu dalam Penebus,

ku tertegun bagiku dicurahkan,

oleh Putra-Mu darah-Nya kudus.

‘Pabila nanti Kristus memanggilku,

sukacitaku amatlah besar,

kar’na terkabullah yang kurindukan,

melihat Dikau Tuhanku akbar.

Versi Version 2

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the world Thy Hand have made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow'r thro’-out the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee:

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee,

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

When thro’ the woods and forest glades I wander

And hear the bird 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 shouts 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!"
