My Father God, when on Thy vast creation

1
My Father God, when on Thy vast creation,
The wonders of the heav'n and earth, I gaze,
Things great and small, beyond enumeration,
Which manifest Thy pow'r in untold ways;
 
Then all my being sings in praise to Thee,
  How marvellous! How great Thou art!
And this I'll sing through all eternity,
    How marvellous! How great Thou art!
2
As I enjoy the grace of Thy salvation
And contemplate how Thou Thy Son hast sent,
Who died that we might be Thy new creation,
Thy life expressing to the full extent;
3
When in the church, in blest participation,
I see how millions Thine own life possess,
How they are built to form Thy habitation,
Containing Thee, Thy fulness to express;
4
As I expect the coming age of fulness
And hope to share the new Jerusalem,
With all the heavens and the earth in newness
And all Thou art expressed in all of them;

Amados Santos, hermanas y hermanos en Cristo, gracias por compartir las melodias y tonos de cada uno de los preciosos cantos de nuestro himnario, con ello nos regulan e impiden que los distorcionemos.

Saludos de parte de la iglesia local.

The music is the same as to the hymn I know as "How Great Thou Art!" These are the verses I have:

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 pow'r thoughout the universe dispayed,

Refrain:

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;

Refrain

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;

Refrain

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!

Refrain

I trust these verses are a blessing to everyone--God bless you all.
