Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 979 hymnals 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 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 heaven 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. Amen. Used With Tune: [Before Jehovah's awful throne]

Our Saviour comes to raise the just

Author: Anon. Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Saviour comes to raise the just, Who long have slumbered in the dust; His voice will break their long repose; And snatch them from the last of foes. 2 He comes to change the waiting ones Who now endure the world's cold frowns; Their feet are planted on the Rock; They fear not, though a little flock. 3 Sinner, dost thou not dread thy doom? The retribution hastens on; Stern justice lifts the avenging sword To slay the mocker of God's word. 4 O then repent, ere the decree, "Let him that's filthy, filthy be," From the stern Judge's lips shall fall, And thou for rocks and mountains call!
