100Psalm 100LM
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
