這首詩歌的作詞者是出生於瑞典的年輕牧師Carl Boberg(1859~1940),曾擔任基督徒週報編輯,也曾任瑞典國會議員。詩歌的創作靈感源於1880年夏天,某一日Boberg出外郊遊,突然間,雷聲隆隆,大雨傾盆,卻在轉瞬之間雨過天晴,大地展現清澈明朗,Boberg被創造主的奇妙大工所感動,寫下了九段詩章,將之分為兩節,配上瑞典民謠曲調。詩歌經由他講道時,與信徒分享,而在瑞典流傳開來。1907年被譯為德文,1927年自德文譯成俄文。同年,英國宣教士Stuart K. Hint(1899~1898)到烏克蘭傳道,聽到這首詩歌又將它譯成英文,1948年,Hint去探望一個因反對共產主義而流亡的俄人難民營,有感於許多在當中信主的俄國人期盼「何時才能回到故鄉?」,於是寫下了第三節歌詞,描述當主再來,接我們回永恆天家時的喜樂、榮耀之美景。本詩歌也經由葛理翰佈道團而流傳全球。1974年被基督教論壇報將之與「奇異恩典」並列為現代最熱門的二首聖詩。
歌詞:
主啊,我神! 我每逢舉目觀看
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
祢手所造一切奇妙大工
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
看見星宿,又聽到隆隆雷聲
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
祢的大能遍滿了宇宙中
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
當我想到,神竟願差祂兒子
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
降世捨命,我幾乎不領會
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
主在十架,甘願背我的重擔
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
流血捨身,為要赦免我罪
He bled and died to take away my sin.
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
當主再來,歡呼聲響徹天空
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
何等喜樂,主接我回天家
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
我要跪下,謙恭的崇拜敬奉
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
並要頌揚:神啊!祢真偉大
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
我靈歌唱,讚美救主我神
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
祢真偉大!何等偉大!
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
祢真偉大!
How great Thou art,
何等偉大!
How great Thou art.
