The Tenors How Great Thou Art performance brings us all such a beautiful moment of worship with a timeless hymn honoring God's goodness.

This classic hymn always reminds us that we are loved by a power greater than anything we can ever imagine.

And take me home,

What joy shall fill my heart!

In humble adoration

And there proclaim,

‘My God, how great Thou art!'"

The Story Behind This Beloved Hymn

Swedish evangelist, Rev. Carl Boberg, wrote this hymn in 1885. He set the words to a Swedish folk melody. The hymn became translated to German, then Russian, and then into English.

An English missionary named Stuart Hine was responsible for this while he was working in Ukraine and heard a congregation sing the song in Russian. However, How Great Thou Art did not gain worldwide popularity until it was performed by George Beverly Shea on a Billy Graham crusade in 1957.

Today, the three talented men of The Tenors are putting their own spin on How Great Thou Art.

Just listen as they come together for a beautiful performance of this beloved hymn full of love and praise for our King. Who else is raising their hands in the air right now?
