Analysis of How great thou art
How great thou art
Friends
How great thou are
To me
Also it was my father
That made as all
With his holy hands
Many years ago
And placed as here on
Earth to live
Our lives here on earth
We are already used
To the earth
For now we will live
Every day on earth
Until the day we die
We are not going to die now
Because we are very young
To die
And we still have a life to live ahead of us
So we still need to live that life
Every single day
We should not waste our lives by sleeping in
During the day
Because if we do that we won’t sleep at night
