1. Before Jehovah's Awful Throne

Verse 1 of 4
Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy,
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and He destroy.

Verse 2 of 4
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.

Verse 3 of 4
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.

Verse 4 of 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.
