When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;
I think of God,
His son not sparing,
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden
gladly bearing
He bled and died
to take away my sin
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Although this beautiful hymn is often associated with the crusades of Billy Graham, it originated
in nineteenth-century Europe. In 1886, Swedish pastor Carl Boberg was caught in a sudden
thunderstorm while visiting a beautiful country estate. As the storm passed, giving way to the sweet
sunlight, Boberg composed the nine original stanzas of this hymn.
In time the hymn was translated into German and Russian. It was noticed by a British missionary who
was serving in the Ukraine. That missionary, Stuart K. Hine, often sang the song with his wife as
they ministered there. Later they translated three stanzas into English from the Russian and Hine
himself added a fourth... and the rest is Christian Music History...

My baby Ise, I am so very sorry for what happened to you. The person who ended your life is out of mine. I'm sorry it took what it did for me to do this. A lot of people don't see this, but I am very trusting and I believed and trusted in this POS. I'm sorry, I am so very sorry. We could have celebrated your 5th birthday this year. I hope you are having a wonderful time at the Bridge. Who knows Ise, maybe the POS will bi-pass you on his way to that special place for things that do evil to animals, you know, along with Michael Sick - oops I meant Vick.
Merry Christmas my Baby Ise! I love you bunches and bunches!
