'How Great Thou Art' Hillsong Church Performance - Christian Music Videos

Hillsong Church leads us in beautiful worship with this stunning performance of ‘How Great Thou Art.’

This classic hymn was originally written in 1885 by Swedish evangelist, Rev. Carl Boberg. He is credited with setting the words to a Swedish folk melody.

The hymn then became translated to German, to Russian, and then into English by English missionary Stuart Hine. He was inspired while working in Ukraine and hearing a congregation sing the song in Russian.

However, ‘How Great Thou Art' did not gain worldwide popularity until George Beverly Shea performed it on a Billy Graham crusade in 1957.

Now the iconic words are performed in churches all across the globe.

"When Christ shall come,
With shouts 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!'"

Today, the talented voices from Hillsong Church are belting out these blessed lyrics. As people are still practicing social distancing, many church services are also streamed online. This special performance was featured one Sunday and it is truly a moment that needs to be shared. During these uncertain times, we still remember that God is in control and He is greater than any Earthly sorrow or obstacle.

Zephaniah 3:17 “The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”
