Before Jehovah's Awful Throne

Author: John Wesley; Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 976 hymnals Topics: God Shepherd 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 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.

O the grace that brought me to the fold, Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold! 2 He washed the bleeding sin wounds And poured in oil and wine; He whispered to assure me, “I’ve found thee, thou art Mine;” I never heard a sweeter voice; It made my aching heart rejoice! (Chorus) 3 He pointed to the nail prints, For me His blood was shed, A mocking crown so thorny Was placed upon His head: I wondered what He saw in me To suffer such deep agony. (Chorus) 4 I’m sitting in His presence, The sunshine of His face, While with adoring wonder His blessings I retrace: It seems as if eternal days Are far too short to sound His praise. (Chorus) 5 So while the hours are passing, All now is perfect rest; I’m waiting for the morning, The brightest and the best, When He will call us to His side, To be with Him, His spotless bride.
