82.
Reading edition
Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone: He can create and He destroy.
His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wand’ring sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again.
We’ll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
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.
