Before Messiah’s Awful throne Lyrics

Before Messiah’s Awful throne

Ye nations bow with Sacred joy

Know that the Lord is God alone

He can create and He destroy

He can create and He destroy.

His sovereign power without our aid

Made us of clay and form’d us men,

And when like wan’ring sheep we stray’d

He brought us to His fold again.

We’ll crowd thy gates with thankful songs

High as the heav’ns, our voices raise

And earth, and earth with her ten thousand thousand tongues.

Shall fill Thy courts, with sounding praise

Shall fill shall fill thy courts, with sounding praise.

Shall fill thy courts, with sounding praise.

Wide, wide as the world is Thy command

Vast as eternity, eternity thy love.

Firm as a rock, Thy truth shall stand

When rolling years, shall cease to move

Shall cease to move.

When rolling years shall cease to move,

When rolling years shall cease to move

When rolling years shall cease to move,

When rolling years shall cease to move.
