LyicsBefore 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.
