Before Jehovah's Awesome Throne

Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 965 hymnals Topics: God Omnipotence of Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awesome throne, all nations, bow with sacred joy; know that the Lord is God alone, he can create, and he destroy - he can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign pow'r without our aid, made us of dust and formed us men; and when like wand'ring sheep we strayed, he brought us to his fold again - he brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people, we his care, our souls and all our mortal frame: what lasting honors shall we rear, almighty Maker, to your name? - almighty Maker, to your name? 4 We'll crowd your gates with thankful songs, high as the heav'ns our voices raise; and earth, with her ten thousand tongues, shall fill your courts with sounding praise - shall fill your courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is your command, vast as eternity your love; firm as a rock your truth must stand, when rolling years shall cease to move - when rolling years shall cease to move. Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: PARK STREET

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: God Omnipotence of Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, our ever present aid, and, therefore, though the earth gives way, we will not be afraid; though hills amidst the sea be cast, 'though foaming waters roar, yea, though the mighty billows shake the mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad the city of our God, the holy place wherein the Lord Most High has his abode; Since God is in the midst of her, unmoved her walls shall stand, for God will be her early help, when trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, but when his voice was heard, the troubled earth was stilled to peace before his mighty word. The Lord of hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works the Lord's great might has wrought; come, see what desolation great he on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth he causes war to cease; the weapons of the strong destroyed, he makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, o'er all exalted high; the subject nations of the earth my name shall magnify. The Lord of hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: NOEL Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt.

Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form; And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail: Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angels delight to hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Omnipotence of God Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation Let us sing Jehovah's praise. To the Rock of our salvation Loud hosannas let us raise; Thankful tribute gladly bringing, Let us come before Him now, And, with psalms His praises singing, Joyful in His presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, Is Jehovah Whom we sing; Over idol-gods victorious, Great is He, our God and King. In His hand are earth's deep places, His the strength of all the hills, His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land His bounty fills. 3 To the Lord, such might revealing, Let us come with reverence meet, And, before our Maker kneeling, Let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, We the people of His care; With a shepherd's hand He feeds us As His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He proffers peace and pardon Let us hear His voice today, Lest, if we our hearts should harden, We should perish in the way; Lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment shall declare: Ye, so long my Spirit grieving, Never in My rest can share.
