105. Before Jehovah’s awful throne
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 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 must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
