There are several versions of this hymn on YouTube, including a version by Hine and a more recent one by Richard M. Elmer. Hine&#8217;s version is probably the most famous, but you&#8217;ll find plenty of versions online as well. Here are a few facts about &#8220;How Great Thou Art&#8221; that you might not have known before.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hines_version\"><\/span>Hine&#8217;s version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The English language version of the hymn &#8216;How Great Thou Art&#8217; was first recorded in the Russian language, and was adapted by British missionary Stuart Hine. Hine&#8217;s version was first heard in the Ukraine&#8217;s Carpathian Mountains, where he spent time with his wife as a missionary. Hine paraphrased the song for the first two verses of the hymn, which is now commonly known as &#8216;How Great Thou Art&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In 1948, Boberg&#8217;s text was translated into German by Manfred von Glehn and Ivan S. Prokhanov. The final four-verse version was published in Hine&#8217;s Russian gospel magazine, Grace and Peace. These magazines were circulated among refugees from fifteen different countries. The translation of Hine&#8217;s version was embraced in each new country, and the song quickly became popular. Hine&#8217;s version is the best known and most widely performed English translation of this hymn.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being the most popular gospel hymn in the world, Hine&#8217;s version of the hymn has been voted the nation&#8217;s favorite song by Songs of Praise viewers. The song&#8217;s copyright protection will last until March 2059, so it is best to check with the composer before using it in your own church. Hine&#8217;s version of how great thou art is an inspiring true story.<\/p>\n<p>Although the hymn is still popular today, it originated in Sweden. In 1907, Manfred Von Glehn translated the song into German and gave it the name &#8216;How Great Thou Art&#8217;. It quickly became popular in Sweden, and after a short while, it spread to other countries including Germany and Russia. In 1931, British Methodist missionary Stuart K. Hine heard a Russian translation of the hymn in the Ukraine. He then paraphrased the song into English.<\/p>\n<p>The third verse, &#8220;It&#8217;s a joy to be alive&#8221; was inspired by the joyful reactions of Ukrainians who had recently received the gospel. The song also reflects Hines&#8217; experience preaching in remote villages in the Carpathian Mountains. The fourth verse begins with a chorus of acclamation. The final stanza, &#8216;How Great Thou Art&#8217;, is a hymn of praise to God.<\/p>\n<p>The hymn became popular in the United States during the early 1950s, when George Beverly Shea&#8217;s singing of the hymn was selected as the theme for a Billy Graham Crusade. Today, it&#8217;s the Billy Graham version that is associated with the hymn&#8217;s popularity. But the song has been popularized by many other people, and there are many verses that make up the hymn.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yf6C0L_7-CA\" width=\"464\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hine&#8217;s Version of &#8220;How Great Thou Art&#8221; on YouTube If you haven&#8217;t heard &#8220;How Great Thou Art,&#8221; you may be in for a treat.
