During Communion

‘ How Great Thou Art ’
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 throughout the universe displayed ,
Refrain : 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 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 ; ( R )
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 ; ( R )
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 ! ( R )
