LyicsBEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
You 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 wen 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.
