82   Before Jehovah s Awful Throne




[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.
