Tenor part is high, large tenor/bass gaps.

Lyric-wise, this song is pretty great. Stars, mountain grandeur, power throughout the universe! There's a line that's currently translated as "all the works thy hand hath made," that occasionally shows up as "all the worlds thy hand hath made," which is even cooler. Archaic second person stuff, obviously, but overall cool. And popular, it seems to be well-known and liked. Except, maybe because of the archaic second person stuff or maybe some other reason, I wasn't at all familiar with this one growing up. One day we sang it at church and I was like "I'm not familiar with this one, it's great!" My mom (the pastor): "yeah, it's pretty popular! We sing it a lot at funerals." My dad: "except then, it's How Great Thou Wert." My mom: "hey!"
