Before Jehovah's awful throne
Hymnal: CHAL1814 #1 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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 sov'reign pow'r, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and form'd us men;
And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,
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 heav'ns 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.

With songs of sacred praise;
For he is good, immensely good,
And kind are all his ways.

In him we live and move;
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of his love.
3 He gave his Son, his only Son,
To ransom rebel worms.
'Tis here he makes his goodness known
In its diviner forms.
4 To this dear refuge, Lord we come,
'Tis here our hope relies;
A save defense, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.

The souls who trust in thee;
Their humble hope thou wilt regard,
With bliss divinely free.

Thy radiant footsteps shine;
Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise
And speak their source divine.

In all thy works appear:
And O! let man thy praise record,
Man, thy distinguish'd care!
5 From thee the breath of life he drew;
That breath thy pow'r maintains;
Thy tender mercy, ever new,
His brittle frame sustains.

Of reason's light possess'd;
By revelation's brightest rays,
Still more divinely bless'd.

With gentle smiling rays:

Thy goodness and thy praise! Topics: Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English

With warm devotion glow.

And ev'ry action prove our thanks sincere. Topics: Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English
