Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; John Wesley, 1703 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #161 (1958) Scripture: Psalm 100 Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's aweful 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 honors 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: The Church Worship - The Lord's Day; The Church Worship - The Beginning of Service; The Life In Christ Thanksgiving; Church Life and Work City, Nation, World; The Church Worship - In The Presence Languages: English Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH
