{SUNDAY WORSHIP} How Great Thou Art Paraphrasing Psalm 8, this - TopicsExpress



          

{SUNDAY WORSHIP} How Great Thou Art Paraphrasing Psalm 8, this song began as a Swedish poem written by Carl Gustav Boberg in 1885. Returning home after a mid-day worship service (Boberg was a part of the then secret, illegal, and oppressed Baptist movement of Sweden), he was inspired by the sights and sounds of Autumn and so wrote these words. Later, they were combined with the melody which is a Swedish folk song. Billy Graham made this song famous by using the extended English version during his "crusades." A recent poll of all time favorite hymns found it to be second only to Amazing Grace. youtube/watch?v=BvoAnMQtpOg
