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. MIM 56.4
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when, like wand’ring sheep, we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again. MIM 56.5
3 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. MIM 56.6
4 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. MIM 58.1
