Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #62 (1961) Scripture: Psalm 100 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,
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign pow'r, without our aid,
Made us of dust, and formed us men;
And when like wand'ring sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy Name?
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,
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,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
Amen. Topics: Covenant of Grace; God Divine Perfections of; God Glory of; God Immutability of; God Omnipotence of; God Sovereignty of ; God Truth of; Joy; Missions; Processionals; Reformation Day; Work of Creation Languages: English Tune Title: PARK STREET
