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 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.


We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs;
High as the heavens 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 shall stand
When rolling years have ceased to move.
