Anybody who has known me for any length of time knows that I have this big hang up about the too frequent elimination of the most important third verse of my favorite hymn! THE THIRD VERSE OF THE WONDERFUL SONG "HOW GREAT THOU ART" IS THE MOST SUCCINCT RECOUNTING OF THE EASTER STORY I KNOW IN SONG!!! And just because it's so sweet, I'm adding verse 4 as well. I dedicate these words to my Savior Jesus Christ, for a day in which to commemorate the most selfless gift in the spans of human history. Thank you Lord, for loving me like nobody else can.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
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.
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 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 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!

I love this hymn so much. The 3rd verse is my favorite too! Happy Easter!
The third verse is also my favorite and it is so hard to know that because of my weakness and sin He had to die for me! What an awesome thought and what a wonderful, beyond expression gift He gave to each one of us that day upon that cruel cross! Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!!! And, thank you, for sharing your heart and your gratitude with us. May God continue to bless you!
This has always been one of my favorite hymns. Thanks for sharing the lyrics, now I get to hum it all night :)!!
