The Tabernacle Choir and the Orchestra at Temple Square present folk hymn "How Great Thou Art" with lyrics by Stuart K. Hine and arranged by Nathan Hofheins.
Lyrics:
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow'r thru-out the universe displayed;
When thru 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.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art! How great thou art!
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,
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration.
And there proclaim, "My God, how great thou art!"
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art! How great thou art!
How great thou art!

I am saddened that the Swedish man who wrote the words receives no credit. His name was Bobert. He had just finished missionary school and was about to be shipped overseas on his first assignment. He was walking along ths shore in Southern Sweden and a powerful storm overtook him. He stood in the rain and thought "Lord how great Thou art. He rushed to his room and turned that thought into a poem. Within few weeks the words were put to an old local folk tune. An Amercan heard it in the Ukraine where Bobert had been a missionary and translated Bobert's poem almost literally. Via the Billy Graham Crusades, George Beverley Shae made it a popular hit. The young missionary was lost in history. I sang the song at my son's wedding in Sweden even though he snd I are Aussies. I sang the first verse and chorus in English and then in Swedish. In Swedish it is O Store Gud.
Thank you.
That is such a beautiful song.Thank you for the wonderful thought.
Thank you for sharing that. I had no idea.
I never knew this thanks for sharing and has always been one of my most favorites
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS IMPORTANT HISTORY OF THIS WELL-LOVED HYMN
My mother would sing this every Christmas before we ate dinner. She sang like an angel, even at 90 years old...she passed Oct. 2022, but I still hear her sing every Christmas. I will miss her until we meet again in the glory God. I'm confident whatever choir is in heaven, my Mother is singing with them.
God bless you
I am not a Morman, but this is beautiful singing. I enjoy it immensely. Thank you my fellow Christians.
I am not a Mormon either but I have bought many of their CDS. Talent is talent and the Tabernacle Choir is very blessed and talented.
This is one of the hymns my young son chose for his funeral, every time I hear it, makes me cry with joy, knowing that my son believes in Christ and that he is dueling with our Savior, this knowledge that someday will be reunited with our loved one, makes the wait glorious!
I am a Roman Catholic, but I think you guys are the best North America chore singers. I guess the Lord has something to do with this.
Yes he does. And with you too!
He does indeed.
We really do try to be and do good in this world 😁
Now I am curious about who is singing in South America
Your words touched my soul. Thanks for commenting.
whether you are mormon,catholic or any other of the religions,music will takes us all to a happy place, Thank you to a great choir,
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I love listening to the music produced by this incredible choir.
i am an atheist and this music brings me to tears. this song was played at my mothers request at her funeral.
this mormon choir are very talented, thank you for your beautiful music.
The Multiverse doesn't get the atheist out of the first cause problem.
you deny the existence of a creative because you want to
Sorry to hear that. I'm assuming that your mother was saved. Therefore, she's in Heaven. I wish that you could come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ & understand God's plan of salvation, so that you can go to Heaven, too, & see your mom again one day. Please seek God so that you can see your mom again. I'm going to pray for you & this situation. I don't know you, but I care. God is real, & I can prove it! Understand that I'm not trying to push anything off on you, I just felt the need to share my feelings & speak my peace. That's all. Thank you for that.
There is room in Christ's church for those of wavering faith. Check out this video on the very subject

bklufc - Eternity is a long time to be wrong. If you think all the beauty of the universe is simply an accident of “nature” then you have an intellectual conundrum.
If you want to come back, you are welcome. If not, that's fine. Most won't judge you either way. This song sure adds beauty to this world and I'm happy that you can appreciate it
I'm a Latter-Day Saint and the message of the Savior is amazing and wonderful.
I am not mormon, but I admire this choir!
I am a Mormon, but I agree!! So good!!
i am glad that the mormon tabernacle choir has done so much to spread the spirit of truth and love throughout the world, so that those whose hearts and minds are open can recieve that light, and that those who stumble around in darkness can be condemned by rejecting that same light...
Same. Love for everyone!
I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints , and i agree , i love this choir a lot !
I am a Christian but not a Mormon but I truly believe that this is the most angelic choir that God has placed on the earth. Plus they come with a world class orchestra.
I can't believe how many gave this a thumbs down. This is one of the most beautiful songs on RUclips!
I think it’s because this version lacked power. I don’t really understand why he had them singing in subdued tones. This message be declared among the nations, much much much more powerful than song here. It was like they were whispering. I mean I really honestly don’t get this interpretation. It just don’t make sense. Especially given the power of the atmosphere, a band and whole choir.
I'm a non denominational Christian, not Mormon but, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as well as the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir are the best in my opinion and, they usher in the best annointings! Makes me feel like I'm hearing a glimpse of the choirs of Heaven!
I’m one of the few members of the church commenting on this video! It is good to see people of all faiths enjoying the work of the choir.
God bless!
I do not care what church they are with, they have a GREAT choir.
And the gospel is wonderful too!! It can have such a magnificent impact on our own life, giving values, stability and direction.
Six months ago I lose a very good friend. I came across this beautiful music. I use this to help me with grieving process to meditate. I am a catholic but I listen to this beautiful choir. Thank you.
My husband passed recently and i hear him sing this song as he journeys up to heaven in praise of God’s immense glory and finally meets Him …this song puts me at peace as I feel he is too!!!🙏🙏
Sending prayers
I was able to hear one of the choir's conductors speak about his experience once, and it was incredible! He said that the members of this choir are set apart as "musical missionaries", which is why I believe they invite the Spirit so strongly
Oh yes they do! 🌹
I admire your choir. I wish the best all of you.
I am not a mormon, but i am sure God takes care of you, in whatever we believe.
Greetings from Poland!
This is how I imagine Heaven to sound.
By their fruits ye shall know them. HE said it Himself.
The fruit that teaches Family is Forever in heaven.
You are absolutely correct this is indeed how heaven will sound
I am a member of The Mormon church and love everything about them. this music brings wonderful peace to my soul.....
I am a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
I hope that everyone is having a strong positive blessed Sunday -And know that Heavenly Father & Our Savior Jesus Christ is always with us , for they will help us through many trials, troubles that we are , have been dealing with , unsure of how to handle them
And for Heavenly Father will forgive you of your sins in Our Saviors Name -- In the name of Jesus Christ AMEN...
Amen ❤🙏
I'd imagine this is how the choirs in heaven sound like.
Why would there be choirs in heaven? I am sure God and Jesus Christ are watching and listening on their celestial channel.
Mike Landrau The Angels sing.
No, this is how the choirs on earth sound
You got that right!
I have had the same thought too :)
I am glad I am a member of this church because I can feel the Holy Spirt in this music so much more strongly than ever before in all my life.
Even as a non-mormon I can feel it too. Be blessed from a catholic brother
I cannot agree more. Fellow Mormon, but this song has me crying in my room haha. And the lyrics are so powerful. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee. How great thou art. He loves us all, and suffered to provide us a way to come back to live with Him. He’s freed us from the suffering of our sins. My soul truly sings of his Greatness.
HOW COULD PEOPLE TUMB DOWN THE CHOIR , thats is so sad open your heart! Jesus loves you!
I am a witness of Christ and I must admit you are one of the best religious singing groups I have ever heard
I am not Mormon either, but man it doesn't get better than this!
it does.... listen to "home free" version
Herr, mein Gott, wenn ich in ehrfürchtigem Staunen
alle Werke betrachte, die deine Hände gemacht haben,
Ich sehe die Sterne, ich höre den mächtigen Donner,
Deine Macht im ganzen Universum zeigt sich;
Wenn ich durch die Wälder und Waldlichtungen wandere,
und höre die Vögel singen in den Bäumen,
Wenn ich von hoher Bergpracht herabschaue
Und den Bach höre und die sanfte Brise fühle.
Dann singt meine Seele, mein heiliger Gott, zu dir,
Wie groß du bist! Wie groß du bist!
Dann singt meine Seele, mein Erlösergott, zu dir,
Wie groß du bist! Wie groß bist du!
Und wenn ich denke, dass Gott, der seinen Sohn nicht verschont,
Ihn in den Tod sandte, kann ich es kaum fassen,
Dass er am Kreuz meine Last mit Freuden trug
Er blutete und starb, um meine Sünde wegzunehmen,
Wenn Christus kommen wird, mit Jubelgeschrei,
und mich heimholt, welche Freude wird mein Herz erfüllen!
Dann werde ich mich in demütiger Anbetung verneigen.
Und dort verkünden: "Mein Gott, wie groß bist du!"
Dann singt meine Seele, mein Heiland Gott, zu dir,
Wie groß du bist! Wie groß du bist!
Dann singt meine Seele, mein Erlösergott, zu dir,
Wie groß bist du! Wie groß du bist!
Wie groß bist du!
Jesus is the Christ. I know that's the truth.
I'm not a Mormon, but I have loved the Mormon tabernacle choir over all choirs, its the best!! How moving.
My Dads favorite song. He went to heaven 33 years ago.
My dad"s favorite too. He went to Heaven in 2001.
this is also my dad's favorite hymn.. :)
The LDS church firmly believes in life after earthly death and with that, you will see him again on the other side. A temporary parting. How sweet that thought can be.
Vick Mcfadden your dad is not in heaven but asleep in the grave waiting on the day of resurrection. John 5:28-29
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!?!?!
This choir make my knees weak....when I listen to them, it feels like I'm in Heaven already, one of my biggest wishes before I die is to see the choir singing live.
Same here I love them with all my heart and soul I get so much peace listening to them.
You can see them live attend one of our General Conference which is held in Salt Lake City every year they sing there.
I’m from Brazil not a Mormon but I’ve been there to hear them live, and man it is special
As a Lutheran, I appreciate music/hymns. I don't understand any religion that forbids singing. (You know who you are.) It's the way ordinary folks give God a shout out! And the MTC does it best!
This wonderful choir has helped me to maintain a positive attitude during these difficult times. God Bless them all ♥️♥️♥️
This hymn was sung at my son's funeral. Thank you for posting this beautiful song.
I'm really touched by your songs. I'm not a Mormon but I love listening to hymns and this makes me like your songs. Great there!!
I wish there was an "I LOVE THIS!" button :(
Cuando leo, cuando quiero olvidarme por un momento del mundo recurro a la música. :)
I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . Listening to The Tabernacle Choir is a Sunday morning staple.
My favourite Hymn.......I want it played at My funeral...........but not yet for a while. !!
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is my absolute favorite! My 7 month old and I have been listening all night. It's incredible the spirit and love you can feel from such beautiful music and lyrics. Thank you for filling my home with the spirit!
I can't wait to join the heaven choir to sing and praise LORD GOD AlMIGHTY.
One of the reasons I subscribe to this channel is that this is how Christian music needs to be sung. With strength, without apology, with pride and confidence in the message and the underlying Truth.
My uncle loved this hymn, as did many in my extended family. They are now numbered among "the friends that are waiting".
Thanks a lot for the sharing of Hymns that come from angels !
Praise be to our God, the Lord !
“At the request of the U.S. Presidential Inauguration Committee, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has accepted an invitation to sing at the swearing-in ceremony during the presidential inauguration at the U.S. Capitol next month in Washington, D.C.”
3 likes... lol
I was so overjoyed and in awe when I saw them perform.
The new administration did not deserve the Choir, but you did brightten up an otherwise sad occasion.
james reed funny. no one doesnt deserve this. no one. even political opponents of yours. if obama or clinton wanted them to come id not say what you have said. if someone wants them to come for whatever reason, have fun, enjoy it. no one DOESNT deserve it.
I am a Christian and I believe in The holy Ghost and Jesus and God. Blessed art thou peacemakers who shalt be named the Children of God.
R.I.P. TO MY DARLING MOTHER.(MISSED SO VERY DEARLY)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS WAS YOUR FAVOURITE HYMN.
AND WAS SUNG AT YOUR FUNERAL( 19th SEPTEMBER (2006).
UNTIL WE ALL MEET!!-ON JUDGEMENT DAY!!!
I miss my mom too.
I was listening to some other old religious songs, "Going Home", "Down in the River to Pray", etc., getting all wistful remembering those who are no longer here, Mom and Dad, uncles and aunts, a brother, many close and dear friends, when this video popped up. My father was not a particularly religious man, although he said several times that "Someone upstairs was looking out for him" (he had been a Naval Aviator from 1940 -1964 and had many close calls). "How Great Thou Art" was my father's favorite religious song. He used to sing it while walking around the house. Kinda coincidental that his favorite song should just pop up randomly like that. Can't help but wonder if he's talking to me. Miss you too, Dad.
I am Mormon... I love this hymn. 😊
I love tabernacle choir for its amazing and melodious songs of praises that always brings healing and deliverance unto my soul.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir brings back so many fond memories of my childhood growing up in the late 90's and early 2000's. I am Roman Catholic, after morning mass, we would usually have this on on TV while we're preparing Sunday's lunch. Awesome! God bless!
AN ALL POWERFUL HYMN!!!GREAT STUFF!!!SUNG AT MY LATE MOTHERS FUNERAL -- 19TH SEPTEMBER 2006.R.I.P.GOOSE BUMPS HYMN INDEED!!!SUPERLY SUNG BY THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR.FROM(U.K.).
i’ve never been one for religion. but i always cry and binge these songs. it sounds the like voice of god with all the complex harmonies and it makes me think death will be a peaceful end to this beautiful life. i like that thought :)
my thoughts exactly. xxxxxxx
one of my favorite hymns of all time!
Raised Catholic, devout agnostic athiest, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is amazing
My mother passed today in hospice. Our dear friend who is a wonderful singer knew this was my grandmother’s favorite hymn and sang it to her. By the time she had finished singing, my mother had passed. I know that my grandmother was holding my mom’s hand and leading her to heaven.
Non-LDS here (mainline Protestant). This beautiful, heartfelt performance certainly resonates with me. Thank you, MTC!
Thank you so much!
Sanctify this place with Thy word O Lord and we will give You praise and honour.
Most beautiful hymn!! Just love it to our God Almighty all praise and worship!!! Thank-you Lord Jesus!!
Beautiful, as always. Did I ever mention how I just LOVE the diversity my Church has in its Choir & Orchestra alone? Whether ur male, female, tall, short, skinny, chunky, younger, older, middle-aged, Caucasian, Afro-American, Asian-American, ANYONE within the Church can join, just like ANYONE from ANY faith is welcome to our Sunday services! I love how we stick strongly to that old principle "love one another" enough that we never shun a soul & are ALWAYS willing to help out whenever a disaster strikes! I'm glad to know that I can visit any LDS congregation & feel just as welcomed as I am in my home congregation!
Take a look at the wide-angle view of the orchestra at the beginning of the video. As far as I can tell, there's not a single person of color in the choir. So much for the "diversity" you touted in your comment.
frisco21 look closer. also look up Alex Boyia. who is black and english. he also has a you tube channel. He was part of the choir for years and a soloist.
your view is limited, these people have time committed to the choir, and love to sing praises to the Lord. Maybe you can ask some of your colored friends to try out to satisfy your desire for the choir.
Love one another!
My favourite Hymn....i want it played at my funeral.......but not yet for a while.!!
Not a Mormon but I love dis tabernacle choir.U ppl are just wonderful.
Just beautiful..I'm not Mormon but always loved the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Love to all my brethren in Christ.
+Diana Lindsey Bless you, Diana! Thank you for your kind words!
U r welcome! See you in Heaven!
Its hard to find someone who’s not mormon and isnt criticizing you in the comments. Thank you.
Diana Lindsey Amen!
Surly one of the best choirs in all the world
The most beautiful hymn ever sung. Truly inspired by God. Thank you for helping me through my darkest nights.
My family favorite song done by one of worlds greatest choirs!Thank you!
I heard Elvis Presley sing this wonderfull song and it realy had an impact on me. He put the power and emotion into it which I now hear from this amazing choir. I have heard several people attempt to do this amazing piece of music justice over the last 30 years and only you and Elvis have moved me to tears.
I miss Elias too.
My mom liked Elvis Presley mainly due to the fact that he sang this song as she was never a fan of rock music
that one line says it all
"my GOD how great thou art"
Thank you for all: the united voices, the beauty of nature, the beauty of earth and humanity in Harmonie!
Make a joyful noise unto The Lord
I am not a Mormon but I am very appreciative of this choir.
We are all children of God, and can respond to his love for us through music.
YO TAMPOCO SOY MORMONA, IGUAL APRECIO MUCHO ESTE CORO. DESDE MIS 7 AÑOS DE EDAD SOY DE LA RELIGION EVANGELICA. DESDE CHILE....BIANCA ANTONELLA DI VANNI DI BIAGGIO.
I am an LDS and this music edifies me all the time.
"And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart." I just lose it at that part because I know that I will return to Him and I will be so happy. This song strengthens my testimony and my faith that He will come. And how beautiful it will be. I also love the orchestra so much and how it just adds to the beautiful choir. This song is just perfect.
"And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart," I will never fear death after hearing those words, you have found the essence of this song and of faith,,,God bless you for this revelation
Stay in the faith!😊
I am not a Mormon but I used to buy their choirs CD casette...
Beautiful, Excellent and 100% Performance. Every Praise to Our God, Amen.
A wonderful choir - outstanding - and a gift to all of us.
I love this church and the wonderful music really brings the Spirit.
Magnificent singing. Let us pray for blessings and protection for our soldiers and leaders of our nation that they hear God”s call and may act and speak as God asks us all to
I will always think of my grandma with this wonderful song... it was one of the pieces we used in her funeral in 2013, my mother suggested it and how my grandma loved this song. It's a beautiful song that will still bring tears to my eyes as I think of her and remember her but I know that I'll see her again. Until then I will keep singing for her. ^^
how gr8 is our God...wt a beautiful song
You don't have to be a Mormon to enjoy this choir, which is the best choir in the world.
God cause you come in many different good forms let me thank you for you and your very special way in my life you are so good to me thank you ❤️
it feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off of my shoulders. beautiful.
How Great Thou Art ( Cuan Grande es El the Spanish version) one of the most powerful song . Has made miracles in my life. THANKS ALL OF YOU.
Music is superb and none better than The Mormon Tabernacle Choir to enrich us with their talents .
Who could no love this or have the audacity to give it a thumbs down? With my personal knowledge of the Lord, how HE has saved my life 7 times that I know I should have died but not for HIM. These people that blaspheme God and HIS SON and deny HIM are fools. Those that don't know Christ are missing life for all it's worth.
WOW!!! WOW!!! TREMENDOUS BEAUTIFULLY SUNG!!!
THANK'S!! TO THE MORMAN TABERNACLE CHOIR
Hola. Me llamo Ceniza. Soy bombera auxiliadora. Vimos al Coro del Tabernáculo Mormón en la televisión, aquí en la estación de bomberos del campo. Las canciones del coro me dan ganas de llorar, pero emocionada. Para mí fue una bendición de Dios.
Soy mormona, leer las escrituras y cantar himnos.
Beautiful too to tribute Elvis ...... i miss you ELVIS **********
The World belongs to US .. We need to foster goodwills on Earth . Peace on Earth !
This hymn was played at both my grandma and mothers funeral and it'll be played at mine. Beautiful version and beautifully sung brings a tear to my eye ❤️
Al escuchar este himno, me da una paz inmensa. Soy feliz. Padre perdón, por no valor y la inmensidad de tu grandeza. Perdón, por ofenderte. Dame fuerza para hacer tu voluntad.
I am an atheist but I very much appreciate these wonderful voices.
MTC the greatest choir ever.....
This is a beautiful song that I used to listen 🎶 when I was a young girl. Every Friday night used to be date night for my parents. They played a rendition of this song. I missed them as they dance Mom was 33 and Dad was 32.
This was my Father's favorite song, we all sang this song at his Funeral
This one is my favorite How Great Thou Art
When i hear this song all i can think of is a man called Thor Larson. He meant the world to me and he's the reason i lost my faith in the church. He was one of a kind taken far to soon and i loved him dearly. I always looked forward to this song in church because Thor's incredible voice overpowered everybody else's voice in the church , he sung it with such passion, love he sounded so strong and powerful it was amazing. I feel very honoured that this man was a big part of my life. I miss him so much :( Listening to this song always brings him back alive to me. God bless you Thor xxx
I LOVE the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!!!!
When I heard this hymn for the first time I felt the power and the truthfulness of this loved gospel what a joy ,when I was baptized the missionaries sang this hymn and I felt the love of my lovely Heavenly Father; For that reason I know that Jesus is alive and God is good all the time !
Whatever else Mormans do, they get music, they truly get it. When I need to feed my soul, this is where I come. Texas
O how great thou art glory to our king jesus christ Emmanuel
