Before Jehovah's awful throne

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #1 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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, 2 His sov'reign pow'r, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men; And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, 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 heav'ns 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 must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

I'll praise my Maker, whilst I've breath

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #7 (1814) Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker, whilst I've breath; And, when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler pow'rs. My days of praise shall ne'er be past Whilst life and thought and being last, or immortality endures. 2 Happy the man, whose hopes rely on Israel's God, who made the sky and earth and seas with all their train. His truth for ever stands secure, He saves th' oppress'd, he feeds the poor; And none shall find his promise vain. 3 The Lord pours eye-sight on the blind; the Lord supports the fainting mind and sends the lab'ring conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, the widowed and the fatherless, and grants the pris'ner sweet release. 4 I'll praise him, while he lends me breath; And, when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler pow'rs. My days of praise shall ne'er be past Whilst life and thought and being last, or immortality endures. Topics: Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English
