Internationally acclaimed Norwegian-born singer, Sissel, performed the Swedish folk melody “O store gud” (“How Great Thou Art”), arranged by Håkon Iversen, during the 2019 Pioneer Day Concert with The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square.
Lyrics:
O store Gud, när jag den värld beskådar,
Som du har skapat med ditt all maktsord,
Hur där din visdom väver livets trådar,
Och alla väsen mättas vid ditt bord:
Då brister Själen ut i lovsångs ljud:
O stora Gud, O stora Gud!
Då brister själen ut i lovsångs ljud:
O store Gud, o store Gud!
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 pow’r throughout the universe displayed;
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee:
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee:
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
