"How Great Thou Art” was written by a Swedish poet who was caught in the middle of a thunderstorm. In the stillness that followed, he wrote the words to this now beloved hymn. Our prayer is that the words of this hymn would bring you comfort in the storms of life…and that we would remember that our God is greater than every trial we face.
