Pan Flute Performance Of 'How Great Thou Art'

Pan Flute Performance Of 'How Great Thou Art'

Enjoy a unique rendition of a beloved hymn as David Döring performs ‘How Great Thou Art’ on the pan flute. 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”

David Döring is a self-taught Pan flutist. The instrument is a series of tubes, most typically made of bamboo or reeds and creates a truly remarkable sound. The pan flute is traditionally played in folk music throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Today, we have the pleasure of hearing this unique instrument played in a way that gives praise to our Lord in Heaven.

Just listen as David plays a soothing rendition of ‘How Great Thou Art’ set against a relaxing backdrop.

“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""

What a beautiful way to give praise to His Name.

Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
