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!
Audiences still have not forgotten Sissel’s stunning performances at the Choir and Orchestra’s 2006 Christmas concerts and still regard her as one of the favorite guests of the Choir. The concert was shown in 2007 on PBS stations to 4 million viewers around the country. The Christmas CD, Spirit of the Season, was #1 on Billboard’s Classical chart for nine weeks and was nominated for two Grammy® awards.

[@mariaknutsson779]

It's very precious to me, being a Swede, that she is first singing in Swedish! This song was originally written in Swedish by pastor Carl Boberg in the small town where I grew up!

[@RandallvanOosten-ln5wf]

Wonderful to hear this great hymn sung in its native tongue, Swedish.

[@user-sb2ou3hh1j]

no..she is not swedish, she is from Norway. The language is not the same but close.....

[@taraskulchetscki1447]

my mother loved Sissel and this wonderful song....she died when she 96 years old and almost every day she would sing this song with a very weak voice but a very strong soul....we sang this song in her funeral....hearing this song brings all these memories back and a lot of tears too

[@georgebaldwin5456]

If you believe the words to this beautiful song, then you know where your Mother is and always will be.....

[@sandrawurster1594]

Tears...

[@la8pv737]

What a great honor for all of Norway that they invited our Sissel to sing with them again.

[@9990Skagen]

Gud har lavet mange store ting i denne verden. Hun er en af dem..

[@waltraudvreede7088]

Was hat diese Frau eine so natuerliche Stimme.Sie singt aus vollem Herzen.Danke😊😊😊😊😊

[@jonathanmangum4347]

Ich stimme zu. So herrlich und schön! Wie groß bist du unsere Himmlische Vater für diese wünderschöne Musik und für die Gewissheit das Jesus Kirche wieder auf der Erde ist 🙌🥲

[@angelahamman2810]

My grandpa would have loved this. He was born in Sweden. ♥️ This is one of my favorite hyms.

[@elainelethborg491]

I too am of Swedish decent. My late father sang this hymn right through just about every day of my childhood. I only wish this lady had sang the whole hymn!

[@mariopuzo4509]

Mine too. 🙂

[@zanmei7261]

My grandfather's parents were born in Sweden. He loved this hymn.

[@jackjohnhameld6401]

Wheb Notre Dame in Paris was in flames we began to see all we had lost when we abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[@enzodiadema5650]

"How great thou art" is a version of this, which is the Swedish original with words by Swedish poet and reverend Carl Boberg. Only many years later and after many translations into other languages, did the English one come to us as we know it today.

[@rubyolson655]

Now that I have heard it in Swedish, I think this is my favorite version altho I still love this hymn

[@henryfernandez4493]

Angelic voice, Sissel. What a performance.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

This was my Uncle Carl's favorite hymn. I played it on my phone for him as he was dying of COVID last night.

[@mulatua1201]

Very sad

[@granvillelewis7679]

This hymn will always remind you of him Mary - Rip Uncle Carl.

[@adriennedunne1748]

I'm really sorry for your loss

[@susanmercurio5098]

Their is nothing more beautiful than the worship of God through music.

[@joelcampbell7100]

Very well said, it even has an atheist having second thoughts 🙏🏻✝️

[@cjjenson8212]

Prayer. But music is a very very close second 🙂

[@mikeq5807]

Nothing more beautiful than worship of God through action, behavior. That's the home of the heart.

[@coffeetam2275]

Amazing..

[@JeanMichel-zi7de]

The best version ever

[@nannye211]

33% Swedish and so proud to be a Lindquist...beautiful version by Sissel

[@timothyrea4757]

Which is more beautiful?? Her voice, or her smile, or those dazzling eyes???

[@stigfalck8179]

All the above and improving with age :-)

[@oscarhanskaseke7553]

An angel

[@patricj951]

This is truly the greatest version of How great thou art I have heard. Simply a PERFECT performance by both Sissel and the orchestra. Beautiful! ❤ First Sissel sings in swedish if anyone wondered.

[@AuntNutmeg]

It's Swedish. The hymn was originally written in Swedish (as a poem).

[@parisgroban2221]

Lagu pujian ini memang berasal dari swedia

[@lajlasivertsen962]

Jesus you are the most beautiful living ever I have seen your eyes Soo innocent so beautiful Soo deep whit love no one can compare your inner beauty I have seen you and love you above everything at erth

[@MegaJohn144]

A young lady sang this song at my missionary farewell when I was leaving for a mission in Sweden. I did not know that the song was written by a Swedish composer. I am glad that she sang the first verse in Swedish. Då brister själen ut i lovsångsljud: O store Gud! O store Gud!

[@davidpavlesic6882]

Have you ever had an angel sing for you---Sissel is that angel

[@mosesCordovero-uw5vw]

i never heard this song before, nor am I even a Christian, but my G-d....this woman sings like the sweet, pure, perfect angel that she so obviously is

[@peterrobinnewman4553]

Down in the dumps,not feeling well just play this beautiful song and I guarantee that you will be lifted 🇮🇪😘

[@anthonypilla9811]

WHAT A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE

[@aav2364]

No one can sign this song like her. Thank you

[@paulwieczorek1945]

Sissel has a grace and beauty that the matches her incomparable voice. Thank God!

[@grahamwilliams2595]

Watch and listen to Sissel sing ":You don't bring me flowers anymore.'....when she was just 17....AMAZING

[@stigbengtsson7026]

Wonderful song, that started in Mönsterås 1885, east coast of Sweden, an went from there around the world... Karl Boberg smile in the heaven One of my personal favorite is George Beverly Shea at a great Billy Graham 1957.

[@michellepenney8218]

I think God's angels are singing with you.... beautiful 🕎

[@analuisacuadra2851]

En mi país Chile hace 30años cantábamos este himno en nuestro coro de barrio José Pedro Alessandro era maravilloso cantarle a Jesús ahora a mis 67 años me quedan sólo escucharlos a través de Yo tu soñé Muchas veces poder ir a escuchar al coro mormón pero queda solo eso soñar pues jamás podré ir mi nombre ana luisa cuadra sólo queda en los archivos me retire de la iglesia X motivos personales pero lo aprendido ahí lo llevare X siempre en mi corazón Hasta el día que mi padre celestial me llame amén y seguiré soñando y escuchando sus bellos himnos dios bendiga sus voces yo era soprano pero perdí mi voz X enfermedad de tiroides fue muy triste pero me resigne

[@ianbaillie6868]

Tears in any language , no matter your faith or belief .

[@elton3891]

I love Sissel 🥰💓💓💓❤️💓 Her Voice is divin, pure.. She sing with the Holy spirit. I thanks God for Sissel.......Now, i can see that the angel exist...

[@arturitoroman695]

My grandmother passed away some months ago, one of her wishes was to play this song in her funeral. After her passing this song turned into more than a song, i feel like i am talking to her when i listen to it.

[@noeldorgan9569]

Totally know where you are coming from

[@roberthutchings7761]

So Sorry To hear of the loss of your love one my Ancestor wrote this hymn (not a song) yes it was written sitting on a beautiful hill as the dawn was coming up in the west country in a village called Dunster Somerset UK

[@stephenbarnett1394]

After listening to this beautiful lady sing this beautiful hymn I am convinced there must be a God there can be no other explanation!

[@edwardgabriel1946]

I know there is. This performance brings me more joy for knowing.

[@stanleywoodison8699]

As an atheist this has given me second thoughts...

[@ldyoung7938]

Keep on thinking! I pray that the Holy Spirit will draw you!

[@frankmedved123]

Keep thinking. Listen to yourself.

Sissel, you have an incredible and beautiful voice. You performe this song with so much feeling. The song is one of my favorite.

[@williamwhite791]

[@kisserravnsrensen369]

She’s a GREAT singer. Sissel. ❤️💙

[@patriot52realfinn22]

Crystal clear and beautiful voice. Sissel is an awesome singer. I love her voice more than anything else. Greatings to You Sissel from Finnish Lapland....We love You ❤❤❤❤❤ The best crossover soprano in whole World.❤❤ This song means a lot to me when times are hard and no light in sight. I pray when I listen Sissel singing this song. ❤❤

[@perpettersen8979]

Finnish Lapland? Nope, she is from Bergen on the western coast of Norway. By the way, did you know that Sissel was featured on seven of the albums tracks and is often referred to as 'the voice of Titanic. ' Sissel has performed on several occasions with The Tabernacle Choir.

[@sealyoness]

I was grateful to see the camera pan over the orchestra members. The lovely voice of Ms Sissel, who would not be moved? But didn't the musicians warm your heart and edify your spirit as they did mine?

[@abasiyuredominic6190]

My heart is full of hope this morning, just by listening to this beautiful music

I was in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, 1985 for my first real Christmas. This song brought a new light into my blood, I felt a strange warm hitting my feet, and flow up. That's my first Christmas.

[@gnakouri1]

What a wonderful feeling. My heart is burning. Our Lord and redeemer live. How great thou Art

[@huskieheart9340]

You should listen to many of her songs, her voice is beautiful, crisp and clear.

[@noriemeha]

Yes,true. But there's more to it with Sissel. Her ability to put a song over is way better than average, and no doubt it is so because she is a sincere singer and in the case of faith songs, she is a believer. It gives her an advantage over other great singers.

[@loristephens3016]

Angels weep in joy when Sissel sings.

[@Tupunaforever]

Absolutely Beautiful

[@johnrose8880]

How Great Though art" is my favourite. Sissel sang so beautifully.

there are some individuals who are intimidated by beauty

[@sealyoness]

There are some who cause strife just to see if they can distract you. If you recognize them as such, they cannot steal your joy.
