Before Jehova's Aweful Throne (Winchester New)

Before Jehovah's aweful throne
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy
Know that the Lord is God alone
He can create, and He destroy
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
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
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
Alternate verse:
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
