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 are His people, we His care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honours shall we rear,
|:Almighty Maker, to Thy name?:|
4. 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.:|
5. Wide as the world
is Thy command;
Vast as eternity Thy love;
Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,
|:When rolling years
shall cease to move.:|
6. **alt vers
7. He sovereign power,
without our aid,
Gave life of clay,
and formed us men;
And when like
wandering sheep we strayed,
|:He brought us to His fold again.
