Pentatonix and Jennifer Hudson perform a powerful rendition of the classic hymn 'How Great Thou Art.' The song expresses awe and wonder at God's creation, from the stars and thunder to forests and mountains. It reflects on the majesty of God and the joy of Christ's return, when believers will be taken home. The repeated refrain 'How great Thou art' emphasizes worship and adoration. This version, released in 2017, showcases the artists' vocal harmonies and brings a contemporary feel to a beloved traditional hymn.

O Lord, my God, 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
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!
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And 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
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!
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow with 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!
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
