Before Jehovah’s awful throne

Author: I. Watts (1674-1748); J. Wesley (1703-1791) Appears in 985 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 2, Revelation The First Disciples Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, you 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, formed us and fashioned us of old; and when like wandering sheep we strayed, he brought us back into his fold. 3 We'll crowd your gates with thankful songs, high as the heavens our voices raise; and earth with her ten thousand tongue shall fill your courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is your command, vast as eternity your love; firm as a rock your truth must stand, when rolling years shall cease to move.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer nought to hide thee, Nought I ask beside thee. 2 In thine arm I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their bitter storms assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all fears and sadness, For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Still in thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!
