Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1

1. Before Jehovah’s awful throne

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 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 heav'ns our voices raise; And earth, with all her 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 shall stand When rolling years shall cease to move.
