Isaac Watts (1674-1748).
Psalm c.Attd. by John Wesley (1703-1701).

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 wandering 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.
