the birds were singing in trees and wherever they could find a perch. On a particular afternoon, some friends and I had been to Kronob\u00e4ck where we had participated in an afternoon service. As we were returning a thunderstorm began to appear on the horizon. We hurried to shelter. There were loud claps of thunder, and the lighting flashed across the sky. Strong winds swept over the meadows and billowing fields of grain. However, the storm was soon over and the clear sky appeared with a beautiful rainbow.&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.staugustine.com\/story\/lifestyle\/faith\/2016\/06\/24\/story-behind-song-how-great-thou-art\/16304855007\/\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-1bb2581623bab393438379203b871c83\">The beauty that followed the storm led Boberg to write the ageless lyrics to &#8220;How Great Thou Art&#8221;. Later, it was sang to the melody of a Swedish Folk Song. After being translated into Polish. And then Russian, it made its way to America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-558c49cb011cdf0e7acdb7391a521c44\">Rev. and Mrs. Stuart K.
