Then Sings My Soul How Great Thou Art

There are few hymns that capture the sheer majesty of God quite like "How Great Thou Art." This particular choral setting takes Stuart K. Hine’s beloved words and breathes fresh, dynamic life into them. From the quiet awe of observing the "rolling thunder" and "forest glades" to the overwhelming gratitude for the cross, the piece carries the congregation on a journey of profound worship. It is a perfect choice for a recessional or a grand thanksgiving anthem, leaving everyone who hears it with a renewed sense of wonder.

What makes this arrangement so special for a choir is how it builds. It begins gently, allowing different sections of the choir to lead—first the men in unison, then the women—before swelling into the rich, full-voiced harmony of the refrain. By the time we reach the final stanza, anticipating the day "When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation," the music demands everything we have. The extended, soaring finale of "How great thou art!" is one of those moments in the choir loft where the music truly feels like a glimpse of heaven.
