100 | Psalm 100 | LM | |
BEFORE Jehovah’s awesome throne Ye 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, Made us of clay and formed us men, And when, like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. |
||
3 | We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame; What lasting honours shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name? |
||
4 | 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. |
||
5 | 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. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, alt John Wesley, 1703-91 |
