'How Great Thou Art' The Detty Sisters And Family

The Detty Sisters and family lead us in worship with the beautiful words 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.

"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”

The Detty Sisters are comprised of four country cuties from southern Ohio. Peyton, Cadie, Lily and Sophia have all been singing worship songs since a very young age. Peyton and Cadie would sing in church and it eventually transformed into playing other venues and even releasing an album of hymns.

Today, the whole family is together for a stunning performance of ‘How Great Thou Art.’

Just listen as they belt out these words of love and praise.

“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"

Deuteronomy 10:17 : For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.”
