As a young girl, my grandfather would pick my brother and me up for church every Sunday. He would belt this song out so loud on the way. It really brings back, special, memories. Johnny you sound great singing it, as well!
AUNT FAITH LOVED THIS HYMN. SHE PASSED AWAY ON APRIL 15 1914. SHE WAS 91. MAY SHE BE SINGING IT WITH JOHNNY CASH UP I HEAVEN. I LOVE YOU AUNT FAITH. YOU WILL LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVER.
When my beloved Quarter horse, Misty, passed away on December 12, 2009 at the ripe old age of 32 human years old, I sang this hymn beside her grave when I was alone after we buried her. I was truly blessed to have had such a wonderful & loving horse in my life. A very special place in my heart will always belong to her, no matter how many horses I might meet or ride between now & when we meet again in Paradise.
This was actually a Swedish poem, written by a man called Carl Gustav Boberg in 1885. The tune was based on a piece of Swedish folk music. It was translated into English and had two verses added by a British missionary called Stuart K. Hine. How fortunate we are for it to have made that incredible journey to enliven all our joy in our saviour!
I'm looking forward to meeting Johnny Cash in heaven one day really soon. Nice to see a time when big stars still knew how to humble themselves. Maranatha!
A delightful, uplifting rendition of this one of my favorite hymns. You can bet Johnny is singing this song in heaven to God Almighty. Rest in peace Mr. Cash.
Wow...You could never get away with singing this kind of song on TV nowadays and that's really a shame...I'm not religious but I remember this song as a child and somehow it made an impression on me. Glad to have found it on UA-cam!

For you Pappa!! My grandfather, who greatly impressed my life, and all my family's life and all the people he touched. He was our County Judge or in office, about 25 years serving HIS community.. How this song makes me really miss him 27 years later... but YOU are singing with the angels Pappa!! Miss you! Songwriter Chicks
Bill Walker was music director for the Cash Show. His band is associated with the Statler Brother TV show and I enjoyed his Gospel piano playing especially on that classic series. Statlers also sang background in the old Cash show. I miss those old shows.
@thetanksley5 So sorry to hear that... Sure it's so difficult for ya as I myself just lost my beloved uncle 2 weeks ago... God bless them both. They might be listening to music together now..
How great is he! Why does my child look away from the man he once looked up to. Why do so many , until they need him on their side! Or until death finds their family or friends.
What a moving song. It is not just America that has lost its Christian direction, here in the UK we suffer much the same when the morning assembly in schools has drifted away from its Christian base in case 'we might offend some people'. The is a place here for all faiths so why should we be denied our heritage?

Why did he mention Frances Crosby (her name has a different meaning in English English)? I don't know if she translated this, but she certainly didn't write it. The music was set to the Swedish poem written by Carl Boberg.
Great song great entertainer second only to the Statler brothers version. Interestingly enough the Statler brothers are signing back up to Mr. Cash on this video.
Johnny has the timing and speed right; but lacks the force of real spiritual passion. I have not heard it sung perfectly yet. Any recommendations? Force and passion ! ! Praise with real passion. A soul really singing "How great Thou art ! "
"Oh store Gud" is the word in Swedish. I wish Johnny Cash was Swedish and sang this song. Try "Artur Ericsson" and "O, store Gud" on you tube, and just listeen!
@elauraburnette I do what I can by removing the most offensive comments (usually left at the clip of Cash doing Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage"). My Cash clips are not a gathering place for negative energy! I respect anybody's right to express their opinion, but if they're a-holes about it, I don't have to provide them a forum.
Do you Know HIM - - - God :Jesus Christ ? He Is The Way . . . ONLY WAY!! ` "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Cor.15: 1-4
Both johnny cash and elvis did a great job on this but I think elvis's verison was only better cuz he had the advantage of having a stronger voice and the stamps but johnny did great I love them both

Johnny was (is) the man. And what a wonderful rendition, of a beautiful hymn. Thank you, John, and thank you GOD.
No matter what song he did, he did good. We will play again up yonder.

This Gospel song was sung at my late beloved husband's final Good bye. RIP.
As a young girl, my grandfather would pick my brother and me up for church every Sunday. He would belt this song out so loud on the way. It really brings back, special, memories. Johnny you sound great singing it, as well!
I was feeling so horrible today. I love you Lord. Johnny Cash was the best:)
Merry Christmas, Johnny Cash.

Very Blessed version of a Very Blessed Hymn ☺
Acts 2:38 KJV Salvation.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24)
God is good all the time and God is still in control.
Hope we'll all be hearing Johnny sing up in Heaven.
I Love this song, he does a great job on it! God bless!
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
Best version!
For you Pappa!! My grandfather, who greatly impressed my life, and all my family's life and all the people he touched. He was our County Judge or in office, about 25 years serving HIS community.. How this song makes me really miss him 27 years later... but YOU are singing with the angels Pappa!! Miss you! Songwriter Chicks
My dad and granddad used to sing this for us, many years ago.
That must have been very beautiful.
His ministry still sings to us in the end times....
I love it. Johnny Cash singing a song directly to our Savior Jesus Christ.❤
Such a beautiful rendition of this great hymn. Thanks for posting it.
How great thou art O'Lord Jesus''' I love you'''''

now sung all over the world.
😢GOD BLESS YOU ALL
M BROTHER AND SISTER

Best version ever recorded.
I just came across this hymn recently and I was taken away... Yes How Great thou art... Love is all there is.

We need to take it back!
I love this music
This song is often used during ordinary time. But it has a real Christmas sound to it.
What a voice! Excellent for this song. Also hear Sandi Patty's version-too good!
gotta love old J.C.
I love it.
How great is he! Why does my child look away from the man he once looked up to. Why do so many , until they need him on their side! Or until death finds their family or friends.
I love this man and his wife and i honestly believe that they will be waiting for me at the pearly gates!!!!!See ya then!!!
I love it
I know HIM, and He is the way !!
@svpst1 The Statler Brothers were Cash's house band for his TV series. I think they were on every episode.
Bravo
The backers are the Carter Family. You should check them out!
UA-cam killed Johnnys other version where he speaks of Gods creation before he sings the song.
Chills
wOW!
Amen❤❤❤
The Carter Family and The Statler Brothers if, I'm not mistaken
What a moving song.

God is our chief friend.
This song is written in sweden and the swedish name of it is "O store Gud".
I love Jesus.
Why did he mention Frances Crosby (her name has a different meaning in English English)? I don't know if she translated this, but she certainly didn't write it. The music was set to the Swedish poem written by Carl Boberg.
Does it really matter it is a lovely Hymn
***** To Carl Bobergs heritage it certainly does.
Amen :)
I must agree The Statler Brothers version is better But Johnny's place is established! Will be seeing him again in the sweet by and by!!
@abargle Great job, thanks, and I fully agree.
Great song great entertainer second only to the Statler brothers version.

When your in prison God and Johnny Cash keeps you alive.
Isn't that the Statler Brothers and the Carter Family on backup? No matter, this is a great song being sung by a great artist.
Yes it is the Statlers and the Carters.
God
@earthalien77 if he was saved ... we will.... we can only hope
Yup. Zero dislikes. I don't even have to threaten anyone.
This is actually an old swedish hymn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Oh store Gud" is the word in Swedish. I wish Johnny Cash was Swedish and sang this song. Try "Artur Ericsson" and "O, store Gud" on you tube, and just listeen!
@hammeron39 Amen to that!
.....you've got to give the man credit, he tried very hard to do what was right. Jreb
@svpst1 I must say, I uploaded this clip and as much as I love it, Elvis OWNS this song in our house!
@abargle I know. :) Doesn't keep it from ticking me off, but I'm sure I do my fair share.

And the Statler Brothers are the male singers.
