- Bila kulihat bintang gemerlapan
dan bunyi guruh riuh kudengar,
Ya Tuhanku, tak putus aku heran
melihat ciptaanMu yang besar.
- Bila kulihat bintang gemerlapan
Refrain:
Maka jiwakupun memujiMu:
“Sungguh besar Kau, Allahku!”
Maka jiwakupun memujiMu:
“Sungguh besar Kau, Allahku!”
- Ya Tuhanku, ‘pabila kurenungkan
pemberianMu dalam Penebus,
‘ku tertegun: bagiku dicurahkan
oleh PutraMu darahNya kudus. - ‘Pabila nanti Kristus memanggilku,
sukacitaku amatlah besar,
kar’na terkabullah yang kurindukan:
melihat Dikau, Tuhanku akbar.

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 power
throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus:
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
grandeurAnd see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
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!”
