When we look at verse four of How great thou art, it takes us into the Savior aspect of the song.
So first we see The Creator aspect, and now we see The Savior aspect.
And he says, When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Here, Carl Boeberg is sharing with us the joy of being a believer, the expectation and hope that we have in Christ, as Scripture shares, we shall come with him and as he is, so shall we be, and we shall be like Him.
Now there is a joy that comes with this expectation of victory and confirmation, that the One whom we believe but did not see is the One that we shall see, and we shall indeed hear with our ears.
The songwriter goes on and he says, Then I shall bow in humble adoration, and there proclaim My God, how great Thou art.
This is paralleling the Apostle Thomas' statement, My Lord and my God. And here the songwriter is sharing the sentiment of being awestruck by the majesty of God in that He saved us, this Amighty God that will burst through the clouds and bring this triumphant entry is the same one that took the time to save you and me.
We hope that you've enjoyed this deep dive into How great Thou Art.
Verse 4 of How Great Thou Art
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
Then 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 great Thou art, How great Thou art!
