"How Great One thousand Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish traditional tune and a poem written by Carl Boberg (1859–1940) in Mönsterås, Sweden, in 1885. Information technology was translated into German and then into Russian; it was translated into English from the Russian by English missionary Stuart Thou. Hine, who also added two original verses of his own. The hymn was popularised by George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows during the Billy Graham crusades.[ane] It was voted the British public'south favourite hymn by BBC'due south Songs of Praise. [ii] "How Swell Thou Fine art" was ranked 2nd (afterward "Amazing Grace") on a list of the favourite hymns of all fourth dimension in a survey by Christianity Today mag in 2001.[iii]

Origin [edit]

Boberg wrote the verse form "O Store Gud" (O Bully God) in 1885 with ix verses.[4]

Inspiration [edit]

The inspiration for the verse form came when Boberg was walking habitation from church nearly Kronobäck, Sweden, and listening to church bells. A sudden storm got Boberg's attention, and then just every bit suddenly equally it had fabricated its appearance, it subsided to a peaceful at-home which Boberg observed over Mönsterås Bay.[5] According to J. Irving Erickson:

Carl Boberg and some friends were returning domicile to Mönsterås from Kronobäck, where they had participated in an afternoon service. Shortly a thundercloud appeared on the horizon, and before long lightning flashed beyond the heaven. Potent winds swept over the meadows and billowing fields of grain. The thunder pealed in loud claps. And then rain came in absurd fresh showers. In a little while the storm was over, and a rainbow appeared. When Boberg arrived abode, he opened the window and saw the bay of Mönsterås similar a mirror before him… From the woods on the other side of the bay, he heard the vocal of a thrush… the church bells were tolling in the tranquility evening. Information technology was this series of sights, sounds, and experiences that inspired the writing of the song.[6]

Co-ordinate to Boberg's bang-up-nephew, Bud Boberg, "My dad's story of its origin was that it was a paraphrase of Psalm 8 and was used in the 'underground church building' in Sweden in the late 1800s when the Baptists and Mission Friends were persecuted."[7] The author, Carl Boberg himself gave the following information nearly the inspiration backside his poem:

It was that fourth dimension of year when everything seemed to be in its richest colouring; the birds were singing in trees and everywhere. It was very warm; a thunderstorm appeared on the horizon and before long there was thunder and lightning. We had to hurry to shelter. But the tempest was shortly over and the clear sky appeared. When I came domicile I opened my window toward the sea. There patently had been a funeral and the bells were playing the melody of "When eternity's clock calls my saved soul to its Sabbath rest". That evening, I wrote the song, "O Store Gud".[7]

Publication and music [edit]

Boberg offset published "O Store Gud" in the Mönsterås Tidningen (Mönsterås News) on 13 March 1886 .[vii]

The poem became matched to an old Swedish folk tune and sung in public for the first-known occasion in a church in the Swedish province of Värmland in 1888.[8] Eight verses appeared with the music in the 1890 Sions Harpan.[7]

In 1890 Boberg became the editor of Sanningsvittnet (The Witness for the Truth). The words and music were published for the first time in the sixteen April 1891 edition of Sanningsvittnet. Instrumentation for both pianoforte and guitar was provided by Adolph Edgren (born 1858; died 1921 in Washington, D.C.), a music instructor and organist, who later migrated to the U.s.a..[9]

Boberg later sold the rights to the Svenska Missionsförbundet (Mission Covenant Church of Sweden). In 1891 all ix verses were published in the 1891 Covenant songbook, Sanningsvittnet.[7] These versions were all in 3/four fourth dimension. In 1894 the Svenska Missionsförbundet sångbok [10] [ amend source needed ] published "O Store Gud" in 4/4 time equally it has been sung ever since).[9]

English translations [edit]

E. Gustav Johnson (1925) [edit]

The start literal English language translation of O store Gud was written by E. Gustav Johnson (1893–1974),[12] then a professor of North Park Higher, Illinois. His translation of verses 1, 2, and 7-9 was published in the United states of america in the Covenant Hymnal equally "O Mighty God" in 1925.[9] [thirteen] [xiv]

The first three Covenant hymnals in English used Johnson's translation, with The Covenant Hymnal (1973) including all nine verses of Boberg's original poem. There was a desire to replace Johnson's version with the more pop version of British missionary Stuart K. Hine's "How Great Thou Fine art". Wiberg explains:

Given the popularity of Stuart Hine'due south translation of How Not bad Thou Art in the tardily 60s and early 70s, the Hymnal Committee struggled with whether to go with the more popular version or retain E. Gustav Johnson'southward translation. Even so, economics settled the issue inasmuch as we were unable to pay the exorbitant toll requested by the publishing house that owned the copyright despite the fact that the original belonged to the Covenant.[14]

The version that appeared in the 1973 edition of The Covenant Hymnbook was:

O mighty God, when I behold the wonder
Of nature'southward dazzler, wrought by words of thine,
And how thou leadest all from realms up yonder,
Sustaining earthly life with love benign,

Refrain:
With rapture filled, my soul thy name would laud,
O mighty God! O mighty God! (repeat)

When I behold the heavens in their vastness,
Where golden ships in azure effect forth,
Where sun and moon keep watch upon the fastness
Of changing seasons and of time on earth.

When crushed by guilt of sin before thee kneeling,
I plead for mercy and for grace and peace,
I feel thy balm and, all my bruises healing,
My soul is filled, my heart is set at ease.

And when at terminal the mists of time have vanished
And I in truth my faith confirmed shall see,
Upon the shores where earthly ills are banished
I'll enter Lord, to dwell in peace with thee.[fifteen] [xiv]

In 1996 Johnson's translation was replaced in The Covenant Hymnal—A Worshipbook because "E Gustav Johnson's version, while closer to the original, uses a more archaic language."[14] However, according to Glen Five. Wiberg:

While there was sympathy on the commission for retaining this older version, a compromise led to preserving it in printed class on the reverse page of How Great Thou Fine art, hymn 8. The new version with fresher language and some hit metaphors seems uneven and incomplete.[fourteen]

Stuart K. Hine (1949 version) [edit]

British Methodist missionary Stuart Wesley Keene Hine (25 July 1899 – 14 March 1989)[16] [17] [18] was defended to Jesus Christ in the Salvation Army past his parents. Hine was led to Christ by Madame Annie Ryall on 22 February 1914, and was baptised shortly thereafter. Hine was influenced greatly by the teachings of British Baptist evangelist Charles Spurgeon.[16]

Hine get-go heard the Russian translation of the German language version of the song while on an evangelistic mission to the Carpathian Mountains, then of the Soviet'due south Ukrainian SSR, in 1931.[16] Upon hearing it, Hine was inspired to create his English paraphrase known as "How Slap-up Thou Art".[14] Co-ordinate to Michael Ireland, "Hine and his wife, Mercy, learned the Russian translation, and started using it in their evangelistic services. Hine also started re-writing some of the verses --- and writing new verses (all in Russian) --- as events inspired him."[seven] [16]

Poesy three [edit]

One of the verses Hine added was the current 3rd verse:

And when I call up that God, His Son non sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce tin can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to have abroad my sin.

Michael Republic of ireland explains the origin of this original verse written by Hine:

It was typical of the Hines to enquire if there were whatever Christians in the villages they visited. In one example, they found out that the simply Christians that their host knew about were a man named Dmitri and his wife Lyudmila. Dmitri's married woman knew how to read -- evidently a adequately rare thing at that time and in that place. She taught herself how to read considering a Russian soldier had left a Bible behind several years earlier, and she started slowly learning by reading that Bible. When the Hines arrived in the village and approached Dmitri's house, they heard a strange and wonderful sound: Dmitri's married woman was reading from the gospel of John about the crucifixion of Christ to a houseful of guests, and those visitors were in the very act of repenting. In Ukraine (as I know first manus!), this act of repenting is done very much out loud. And then the Hines heard people calling out to God, maxim how unbelievable information technology was that Christ would die for their own sins, and praising Him for His honey and mercy. They just couldn't barge in and disrupt this obvious work of the Holy Spirit, and then they stayed outside and listened. Stuart wrote down the phrases he heard the Repenters employ, and (even though this was all in Russian), it became the third poetry that we know today: "And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in."[7]

The Hines had to get out Ukraine during the Holodomor or Famine Genocide perpetrated on Ukraine by Joseph Stalin during the wintertime of 1932–33, and they also left Eastern Europe at the outbreak of the Second Globe War in 1939, returning to United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, where they settled in Somerset.[7] [19] Hine continued his evangelistic ministry in United kingdom working among the displaced Smoothen refugee community.[9]

Verse 4 [edit]

The quaternary poetry was another innovation of Stuart Hine, which was added after the Second World State of war. His business organization for the exiled Polish customs in Britain, who were anxious to render dwelling, provided part of the inspiration for Hine's concluding poesy.[9] Hine and David Griffiths visited a camp in Sussex, England, in 1948 where displaced Russians were being held, but where merely two were professing Christians.[sixteen] The testimony of i of these refugees and his anticipation of the second coming of Christ inspired Hine to write the 4th stanza of his English version of the hymn.[sixteen] According to Ireland:

I human being to whom they were ministering told them an amazing story: he had been separated from his wife at the very finish of the war, and had not seen her since. At the time they were separated, his wife was a Christian, but he was not, only he had since been converted. His deep desire was to observe his wife and so they could at last share their religion together. But he told the Hines that he did not think he would ever see his wife on earth once again. Instead he was longing for the mean solar day when they would meet in sky, and could share in the Life Eternal there. These words over again inspired Hine, and they became the basis for his 4th and final verse to 'How Great M Art': "When Christ shall come with shout of acclaim to have me home, what joy shall fill my heart. And then we shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, My God How Peachy Thou Fine art!"[7]

Optional verses by Hine [edit]

In Hine's book, Not You lot, simply God: A Testimony to God'southward Faithfulness,[20] Hine presents two additional, optional verses that he copyrighted in 1953 every bit a translation of the Russian version,[sixteen] that are generally omitted from hymnals published in the United States:

O when I meet ungrateful man defiling
This bounteous world, God's gifts so good and keen;
In foolish pride, God'south holy Name reviling,
And yet, in grace, His wrath and judgment expect.

When burdens press, and seem beyond endurance,
Bowed down with grief, to Him I lift my confront;
And then in honey He brings me sweetness assurance:
'My kid! for thee sufficient is my grace'.

Subsequent history [edit]

In 1948 Hine finished composing the terminal poesy. Hine finalised his English translation in 1949,[21] and published the terminal iv poesy version in his own Russian gospel magazine Grace and Peace that same year.[nine] As Grace and Peace was circulated amid refugees in fifteen countries effectually the earth, including North and South America, Hine's version of O store Gud (How Cracking Thou Art) became popular in each country that information technology reached. British missionaries began to spread the song around the globe to erstwhile British colonies in Africa and India in approximately its electric current English version.

According to Hine, James Caldwell, a missionary from Central Africa, introduced Hine'due south version to the United States when he sang it at a Bible conference of the Stony Beck Assembly in Stony Brook, New York, on Long Island in the summer of 1951.[nine]

Hine published hymns and evangelical literature in various languages,[nineteen] including Eastern Melodies & Hymns of other Lands (1956)[22] and The Story of "How Cracking Thou fine art": How information technology came to be written ... With complete album of hymns of other lands ... Russian melodies, Eastern melodies, etc (1958).[23] Hine died on 14 March 1989. His memorial service was held at the Gospel Hall on Martello Road, Walton-on-Naze, Essex, England, on 23 March 1989.[16]

Manna Music version (1955) [edit]

A plan note from a Gustavus Adolphus College, Minnesota, concert tells listeners that J. Edwin Orr (xv January 1912 – 22 April 1987) of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California discovered the song being sung in a small village near Deolali, Republic of india by a choir of the Naga tribe from Assam about Burma. The tribesmen had arranged the harmony themselves, and a Mennonite missionary had transcribed it.[9]

Orr was so impressed with the song that he introduced it at the Woods Home Christian Conference Center in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California founded in 1938 by Henrietta Mears (23 October 1890 – 19 March 1963) in the summer of 1954. Mears' publishing company, Gospel Light Press, published Hine'due south version of the song in 1954.[7] However, according to Manna Music's website,

Dr. Orr'due south theme for the week of the conference was "Remember not what great things you can practise for God, but think get-go of any you can do for a great God." And so he introduced the vocal at the commencement of the conference and it was sung each day. Attention the Forest Abode college-age briefing were Hal Spencer and his sis, Loretta, son and daughter of Tim Spencer, who was a songwriter and publisher of Christian music. Hal and Loretta borrowed the vocal sheet from Dr. Orr and brought information technology habitation and gave it to their father.[24]

Their begetter was Vernon 'Tim' Spencer (thirteen July 1908 – 26 Apr 1974),[25] [26] a converted cowboy, and erstwhile member of The Sons of the Pioneers, who had founded the newly established Manna Music of Burbank, California in 1955.[9] [27] Spencer negotiated with Hine for the purchase of the song.[9] [28]

The Manna Music editors changed "works" and "mighty" in Hine'south original translation to "worlds" and "rolling" respectively. According to Manna Music, "Presently it is considered, and has been for several years, to be the almost popular Gospel vocal in the globe."[28]

The beginning time "How Groovy K Art" was sung in the U.s. was at the aforementioned Forest Dwelling conference in 1954, led by Dr. Orr. In honor of this outcome, Woods Home had the words to the song carved on a polished Redwood plaque. This plaque hangs on the wall of Hormel Hall at Forest Home to this 24-hour interval, enabling people to sing it at any time, to help in learning the song, and to raise hearts to the Lord in impassioned praise.

The outset major American recording of "How Keen Thou Art" was by Bill Carle[24] in a 1958 Sacred Records album of the same proper name (LP 9018).[29] He reprised the song on his "Who Hath Measured the Waters In the Hollow of His Manus" album (Sacred Records LP 9041) afterward that year.[29]

Billy Graham Evangelistic Crusades [edit]

The Manna Music version of the song was popularised as the "signature vocal" of the 1950s Baton Graham Crusades.[30] It was popularized past George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows during Baton Graham crusades.[one] Co-ordinate to Ireland:

As the story goes, when the Billy Graham team went to London in 1954 for the Harringay Crusade, they were given a pamphlet containing Hine'southward piece of work. "At outset they ignored it, but fortunately not for long," said [Bud] Boberg. They worked closely with Hine to prepare the song for use in their campaigns. They sang it in the 1955 Toronto campaign, but information technology didn't really catch on until they took it to Madison Foursquare Garden in 1957. Co-ordinate to Cliff Barrows (Dr. Graham'due south longtime associate), they sang it ane hundred times during that entrada because the people wouldn't let them stop."[7]

The pamphlet had been given to Shea past his friend Andrew Gray, who worked with the Pickering and Inglis publishing firm,[31] on Oxford Street in London in 1954. Barrows, who also had been given a re-create, had Paul Mickelson (died 21 October 2001)[32] arrange the song for use in the 1955 Toronto Crusade.[33] George Beverly Shea'due south recording of the hymn ranks number 204 on the top recordings of the 20th century according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

Evangelist Billy Graham said: "The reason I like 'How Great Thou Art' is considering it glorifies God. It turns Christian's eyes toward God, rather than upon themselves. I utilize it as oft as possible because it is such a God-honoring song."[24]

Christiansen translation (1956) [edit]

A translation exists by Avis B. Christiansen, retaining the "O Store Gud" tune with an organization past Robert J. Hughes. This version, titled "Lord, I Adore Thee", appears in the 1958 hymnal Songs for Worship.[34]

Bayly translation (1957) [edit]

The hymn was translated in 1957 for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship by Joseph T. Bayly (five Apr 1920 – 16 July 1986), and gear up to the music of Josephine Carradine Dixon. According to Bud Boberg, the grandson of the younger blood brother of the original writer of the poem:

"It's a quite literal translation from Boberg, but I suspect that he had the Hine piece of work at manus considering he uses the phrase 'how peachy Yard art.' Also, the music by Josephine Carradine Dixon is similar to Hine's. He added two verses of his own."[7]

Other translations [edit]

German translation (1907) [edit]

The vocal was commencement translated from Swedish to High german by a wealthy Baltic German language Baptist nobleman, Manfred von Glehn (built-in 1867 in Jelgimaggi, Republic of estonia; died 1924 in Brazil),[35] [36] who had heard the hymn in Estonia, where there was a Swedish-speaking minority. Information technology was first published in Blankenburger Lieder.[nine] The song became pop in Germany, where "Wie groß bist Du" is the common championship (the outset line is "Du großer Gott").[7]

Russian translation (1912) [edit]

Eventually, the German version reached Russian federation where a Russian version entitled "Velikiy Bog" (Великий Бог - Cracking God)[37] was produced in 1912 by Ivan S. Prokhanov (1869–1935),[38] the "Martin Luther of Russian federation",[ix] and "the most prolific Protestant hymn author and translator in all of Russia" at that time[7] in a Russian-language Protestant hymnbook published in St. Petersburg (after Petrograd), Kymvali (Cymbals).[9] An enlarged edition of this hymnbook entitled "Songs of a Christian", including "Velikiy Bog" was released in 1927.[9]

Spanish Version (1958) [edit]

The hymn was translated into Spanish past Pastor Arturo W. Hotton, from Argentina, in 1958 by the name of "Cuán Grande Es Él". He was an Evangelical leader of the Plymouth Brethren denomination. Past the 1960s information technology began to be sung by many Evangelical churches in the Spanish speaking world.

Erik Routley (1982) [edit]

Eminent British hymnologist Erik Routley (born 31 October 1917; died 1982)[39] and then disliked both the hymn and its melody, he wrote a new text, "O Mighty God" and re-harmonised the Swedish tune in 1982. This was one of his last works before his death. His translation was included as hymn 466 in Rejoice in the Lord: A Hymn Companion to the Scriptures (1985).[fourteen] : Wibeg incorrectly refers to Routley equally Eric Rowley. [40] [41]

"O Shop Gud" became more pop in Sweden after the dissemination of "How Slap-up 1000 Art" in English. Swedish gospel singer Per-Erik Hallin has credited Elvis Presley's rendition of "How Smashing Thou Art" as a major factor in the revival of "O Store Gud" in Sweden.[42] [ improve source needed ]

In English the first line is "O Lord, my God"; and the hymn may announced with that heading, especially in British hymnals, where first-line citation is the dominant practice.[43] English-language hymnals prevailingly point the tune title as the Swedish offset line, O Shop GUD.

Māori version [edit]

In New Zealand, the hymn melody is most widely known through a different hymn called Whakaaria Mai. The Māori verses were composed by Canon Wiremu Te Tau Huata, who served every bit a chaplain during WWII for the 28th (Māori) Battalion and composed many famous waiata. While set to the music of How Great 1000 Art, and often combined with the English version of this hymn, the Māori lyrics are instead a loose translation of the hymn Abide with Me.[44] The hymn was popularised past Sir Howard Morrison, who sung it at the Royal Control Performance in 1981 upon the occasion of the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to New Zealand.[45] When Morrison released information technology as a unmarried in 1982, Whakaaria Mai spent half-dozen months in the New Zealand national charts, including five weeks in the number 1 position.[44]

Whakaaria Mai has subsequently become a mainstay of New Zealand popular civilization. It has been covered by numerous New Zealand artists, including Prince Tui Teka, Eddie Low, Temuera Morrison and the Modern Māori Quartet, Stan Walker, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, TEEKS and Hollie Smith. It was also sung by Lizzie Marvelly at the memorial service of New Zealand rugby legend Jonah Lomu.[46] [47] Post-obit the 2019 terrorist assail in Christchurch, John Mayer opened his Auckland show by performing Whakaaria Mai / How Neat Thou Art alongside a kapa haka grouping as a tribute to Christchurch.[48] In 2017, Canon Wiremu Te Tau Huata was awarded the Music Composers Honour (Historical) at the tenth Annual Waiata Māori Music Awards, in part due to his limerick of Whakaaria Mai.[49]

Commonly used English lyrics [edit]

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made.
I meet the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
And so sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee:
How keen Yard art, how swell Chiliad art!

When through the woods and woods glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the copse;
When I look downward from lofty mount grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

And when I retrieve that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to dice, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me habitation, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how bang-up Thou fine art!

Other verses [edit]

Boberg's unabridged poem appears (with archaic Swedish spellings). Presented below are ii of those verses which announced (more or less loosely) translated[67] in British hymnbooks, followed in each instance by the English.[68]

När tryckt av synd och skuld jag faller neder,
Vid Herrens fot och ber om nåd och frid.
Och han min själ på rätta vägen leder,
Och frälsar mig från all min synd och strid.

When burdens press, and seem across endurance,
Bowed down with grief, to Him I lift my confront;
And and then in beloved He brings me sweet assurance:
'My kid! for thee sufficient is my grace'.

När jag hör dårar i sin dårskaps dimma
Förneka Gud och håna hvad han sagt,
Men ser likväl, att de hans hjälp förnimma
Och uppehållas af hans nåd och makt.

O when I see ungrateful human being defiling
This bounteous earth, God's gifts so practiced and great;
In foolish pride, God's holy Proper noun reviling,
And withal, in grace, His wrath and judgment look.

Swedish hymnals frequently include the post-obit verse:[69]

När jag hör åskans röst och stormar brusa
Och blixtens klingor springa fram ur skyn,
När regnets kalla, friska skurar susa
Och löftets båge glänser för min syn.

When I hear the voice of thunder and storms
and see the blades of thunder striking from the sky
when the cold rain and fresh showers whirl
and the arc of promise shines before my optics.
