David Foley performs variations on "How Great Thou Art" on the concert grand piano at the 11:00 o'clock service, April 26, 2009.

"How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish poem written by Carl Gustav Boberg (1859–1940) in Sweden in 1885. It was translated into English by Stuart K. Hine, who also added two original verses of his own composition. It was popularized by George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows during Billy Graham crusades. It was voted the United Kingdom's favorite hymn by BBC's Songs of Praise. "How Great Thou Art" was ranked second (after " Amazing Grace ") on a list of the favorite hymns of all time in a survey by Today's Christian magazine in 2001. (Wikipedia)
