Traditional
How Great Thou Art (Whakaaria Mai)
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Whakaaria mai, tou ripeka ki au
Tiaho mai, ra roto i te po
Hei kona au, titiro atu ai
Ora, mate, hei au koe noho ai



When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Whakaaria mai, tou ripeka ki au
Tiaho mai, ra roto i te po
Hei kona au, titiro atu ai
Ora, mate, hei au koe noho ai

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!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
(your cross to me
Let it shine
There in the darkness
To there I
Will be looking
In life, in death
Let me rest in thee.)
