Before Jehovah's Awful Throne

Verse 1

Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy.

Verse 2

His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again.

Verse 3

We'll crowd His gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill His courts with sounding praise.

Verse 4

Wide as the world is His command, Vast as Eternity His love; Firm as a rock His truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.
