Before Je-ho-vah's aw-ful throne,

D G Em D A

Ye nations, bow with sa-cred joy;

His sov-ereign power, with-out our aid,

High as the heavens our voic-es raise;

D A7 D G D A

And earth, with her ten thou-sand tongues,

D G A7 D Em D A7 D

Shall fill His courts with sound-ing praise.

Wide as the world is His command,

D G D Em D A

Vast as E-ter-ni-ty His love;

D A7 D G D A

D G A7 D Em D A7 D

When roll-ing years shall cease to move.
