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 pow’r, without our aid,
Made us of dust, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
We are his people, we his care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to my name?
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.—Isaac Watts
This hymn seems to be more popular among Seventh-day Adventists than anyone else, at least if you’re counting You-Tube videos of it. But I’ve found two performances that aren’t, as far as I know, associated with SDA groups. The first is a youth orchestra with congregation and choir, and the second is done by a Mennonite chorale.
