Verse 2    | 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 hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze; |
Verse 3    | 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; |
Verse 4    | 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 there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! |
