The God of Abraham praise

Meter: 6.6.8.4.D.

1

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

2

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.

3

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.

4

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

5

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.

6

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.
