306. Before the Lord Jehovah's Throne

1 Before the Lord Jehovah's throne,
All nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and he destroy;
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,
He brought us to his fold again.

3 We'll crowd his gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill his courts with sounding praise,
Shall fill his courts with sounding praise.

4 Wide as the world is his command,
Vast as eternity his love;
Firm as a rock his truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

Amen.
