This hymn has been around for a long time, originating from a Swedish poem penned in 1885 by Carl Boberg.

This rendition of “How Great Thou Art” isn’t just about technical perfection, though both artists deliver that in spades. It’s about the feeling it invokes. It’s about the collective gasp that echoes through the crowd when Carrie’s voice swells, and the hush that follows as Vince’s gentle strumming brings a calm, reflective close. It’s about the shared experience of something beautiful and profound.
In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, this performance reminds us of the beauty in simplicity and the power of heartfelt expression. It’s more than just a song; it’s a reminder of the grace and greatness that exists within and around us.

Lyrics
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
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
And when I think of 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
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 Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow with humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
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
