This really is a gorgeous hymn. I love to ponder the meaning when I’m outdoors.

Words by Carl Boberg.

“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 power throughout the universe displayed.

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 see 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 I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: ‘My God, how great Thou art!’

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!”

Who wants to know the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

“Behold, thus said Jesus Christ, the Son of God, unto his disciples … Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature; … And whosoever shall believe in my name, doubting nothing, unto him will I confirm all my words, even unto the ends of the earth. … And now, behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord? Who can deny his sayings? … O then, despise not, and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord.”

Mormon 9:22-27
