‘How great thou art’

Celebrating its 75th anniversary, the classic hymn 'How great thou art' has been revitalised by worship leader Matt Redman and an ensemble of renowned Christian musicians. This contemporary remix showcases the song's enduring appeal in Christian communities. Redman, in his interview with CBN News, reflected on the hymn's widespread impact, especially its growth after being featured in Billy Graham crusades. He believes its timeless nature stems from its narrative, spanning from creation to the cross, offering a blend of education and inspiration. Redman revealed the English lyrics were written by British missionary Stuart Hine in Ukraine, adding historical depth. This hymn is a traditional Swedish hymn, spread across Europe by Swedish missionaries. With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, proceeds from this new version will support humanitarian efforts in eastern Europe. This 2024 rendition also introduces a new section designed to resonate with Christians in today's tumultuous world. Redman has praised the collective effort of the artists involved, bringing new life to this beloved hymn.
