Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; John Wesley, 1703-1791 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #41 (1970) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 your gates with thankful songs,
High as the heaven our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill your 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.
Amen.
