Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; John Wesley, 1703-91 Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #2 (1973) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 100 Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah’s awesome throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
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.
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 heavens 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 shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move. Topics: Approach to God The House of God Languages: English Tune Title: [All people that on earth do dwell]
