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, He can create and He destroy.
2. His sov’reign pow’r, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wand’ring sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again, He brought us to His fold again.
3. 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, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
4. Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move, When rolling years shall cease to move.
