BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne

Ye 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 form'd us men;
And when, like wandering sheep, we stray'd,
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 must stand,

When rolling years shall cease to move.

*Tune of the 134th Psalm in the Genevan Psalter. The earliest known copy of this tune is found in a Genevan edition of a portion of the English Psalter, in the Library of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, printed in 1561, with the title "Fourescore and Seven Psalmes of David, in English Mitre, by Thomas Sternholde and others."
