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 Formed Us Men;
And When Like Wandering Sheep We Strayed,
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 Shall Stand,
When Rolling Years Shall Cease To Move.
