How Great Thou Art additional verses

I wanted to reinforce something that was kind of buried in the notes from this week's class, which is two verses that Stuart Hine wrote later for How Great Thou Art.  I think they're chock full of goodness and wouldn't mind seeing these added to the hymnal.  And yeah, there's lots of goodness that never gets to make it into the hymnal.

O when I see ungrateful man defiling
This bounteous earth, God's gifts so good and great;
In foolish pride, God's holy Name reviling,
And yet, in grace, His wrath and judgment wait.

When burdens press, and seem beyond endurance,
Bowed down with grief, to Him I lift my face;
And then in love He brings me sweet assurance:
'My child! for thee sufficient is my grace'.

Those are good enough I really wanted to highlight them.
