TRANSCRIPT
Volume XXXVI Number 30 July 31, 2012
Carl Boberg, a twenty six year old Swedish minister wrote a poem in 1885 that he called “O Store Gud”—
O Mighty God” The words literally translated to English. said:
When I the world consider/Which Thou has made by Thine almighty Word And how the web
of life Thou wisdom guideth/And all creation feedeth at Thy board. Then doth my soul burst
forth in song of praise/Oh great God, Oh, great God!
His poem was published and “forgotten”—or so he thought. Several years later Carl was surprised to hear
it being sung to the tune of an old Swedish melody, but the poem and hymn did not achieve widespread fame.
Hearing this hymn in Russia, English missionary Stuart Hine was so moved he modified and expanded the
words and made his own arrangement of the Swedish melody. He later said his first three verses were
inspired, line upon line, by Russia’s rugged Carpathian Mountains. The first verses was composed when he
was caught in a thunderstorm in a Carpathian village, the second as he heard the birds sing near the Roma-
nian border, and the third as he witnessed many of the Carparthian mountain-dwellers coming to Christ.
The final verse was written after Dr Hine returned to Great Britain.
Some time later, Dr J Edwin Orr heard “How Great Thou Art” being sung by Naga Tribespeople in
Assam, in India, and decided to bring it back to America for use in his own meetings. When he introduced it
at a conference in California, it came to the attention of music publisher Tim Spencer, who contacted Mr.
Hine and had the song copyrighted. It was published and recorded.
During the 1954 Billy Graham Crusade in Harringay Arena, George Beverly Shea was given a leaflet con-
taining this hymn. He sang it to himself and shared it with other members of the Graham team. Though not
used in London, it was introduced the following year to audiences in Toronto. In the New York Crusade of
1957, it was sung by Bev Shea ninety-nine times, with the choir joining the majestic refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, How great thou Art! How great Thou Art!
I was privileged to sing in the choir when the Billy Graham crusade came to Shreveport. I love this
hymn. Keep watching for another hymn that George Beverly Shea sang; I’d Rather have Jesus.
I sincerely hope you are enjoying reading about these hymns. As much as I enjoy playing them!
