Hymn 70
The God of Abraham praise
Meter: 6.6.8.4.D.
The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love,
Jehovah Great I AM !
By earth and heaven confess’d;
I bow and bless the sacred name
For ever bless'd
The God of Abraam praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand,
I all on earth forsake
Its wisdom, fame, and power
And Him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.
He by Himself hath sw'orn,
I on His oath depend;
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
To heaven ascend;
I shall behold His face
I shall His power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
For evermore.
Though nature’s strength decay,
And earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan’s bounds I urge my way
At His command.
The watery deep I pass,
With Jesus in my view;
And through the howling wilderness
My way pursue
The God who reigns on high
The great archangels sing;
And, Holy, holy, holy, cry,
Almighty King.
Who was and is the same,
And evermore shall be;
Jehovah, Father, Great I AM,
We worship Thee.
The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
They ever cry..
ffHail, Abra’am’s God, and mine.
I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are Thine.
And endless praise.
