Lyics

Before Jehovah's awful throne,

Ye nations bow with sacred joy;

Know that the Lord is God alone;

He can create and he destroy.



His mighty power without our aid,

Made us of clay and form'd us men;

And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,

He brought us to his fold again.



We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,

High as the Heav'ns our voices raise;

And Earth with her ten thousand tongues,

Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.



Wide as the world, is thy command,

Vast as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,

When rolling years shall cease to move.
