Almighty Lord! Before Thy Throne

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16400 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Almighty Lord! before Thy throne Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord! before Thy throne Thy mourning people bend! ’Tis on Thy pardoning grace alone Our dying hopes depend. 2 Dark judgments, from Thy heavy hand Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares our guilty land And still we live to pray. 3 How changed, alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name! 4 O turn us—turn us, mighty Lord Convert us by Thy grace; Then shall our hearts obey Thy word, And see again Thy face. 5 Then, should oppressing foes invade, We will not sink in fear; Secure of all-sufficient aid When Thou, O God, art near.
