How Great Thou Art MEDIUM EASY PIANOStuart K. Hine served as a British Methodist missionary for a time in Ukraine. In 1931 he heard the Russian translation of a German song inspired by Carl Boberg's poem O Store Gud (O Great God). Hine translated the song to English and added verses. The central theme appears in the third verse: And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in. Mr. Hine and his family left Ukraine as famine and World War Two began, settling in Somerset, Britain, where he continued to serve in missionary efforts. And, although several competing translations appeared through the years, this version of the lyric was published in 1949 and quickly spread in popularity. It was first widely used, though after further introduction by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Team in its London Crusade of 1954, as well as in subsequent American meetings.Colossians 1:16Psalm 90:2Psalm 105:2Expressed simply and clearly for beginning pianists, with fingering suggestions for both teacher and player, itâ??s a perfect choice for prelude, brief offertory, recital or other occasions and itâ??s perfect for each of the stanzas from most hymnals.Soâ?¦check out other versions of How Great Thou Art, including EASY PIANO from Studio B ProductionsThanks, as always to the good folks at ArrangeMe.com, a division of Hal Leonard!
