Episode description

Derived from a Swedish poem, the hymn "How Great Thou Art" was popularized in the US through the Billy Graham Crusades and by recording artists, including Elvis! The hymn describes the grandeur of creation and the human experience of it as inspiring awe and wonder before moving to describe one view of atonement and its consequences. The hymn is perhaps the most widely distributed hymn in the English language and is among the most popular among church goers.
