How Great Thou Art Lyrics by Elvis Presley from the Amazing Grace: His Greatest Sacred Songs album- including song video, artist biography, translations and more: Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling… Songfacts®: This song started out as a hymn written in 1885 by the Rev. Carl Boberg, a Swedish evangelist, who set it to a Swedish folk melody. The hymn was translated into German, then Russian, and when an English missionary Stuart Hine working in the Ukraine heard a native congregation sing the Russian words, he produced an English version. The lyrics talk about how God is great and how He is worthy of our praise. The song is a reminder that no matter what happens in our lives, God is always there for us and He is always in control. How Great Thou Art is one of the best-known songs by Elvis Presley. Stuart Hine: In my car, I sing (scream) the lyrics to the song with Elvis. It’s Without Him I'd surely fail. Without Him I would be drifting. Like a ship without a sail. Without Him I would be dying. Without Him I'd be enslaved. Without Him life would be worthless. But with Jesus thank God I'm saved. Oh Jesus, oh Jesus. Do you know Him today. .
