Listen Later

The lesson explored the enduring legacy of Carl Boberg's poem "O Store Gud!. The hymn, "How Great Thou Art," has its origins in this Swedish poem inspired by a thunderstorm. It subsequently was translated and adapted into a globally recognized worship song. Examining the history of the hymn, the speaker addressed the controversy surrounding its inclusion in Methodist hymnals, highlighting the tension between devotional expression and confessional theology.
