The God of Abra'am praise

The God of Abra'am praise 

1. The God of Abra'am 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

Forever bless’d.

2. The God of Abra’am 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 sworn;

I on His oath depend;

I shall, on eagle’s wings upborne,

To heaven ascend;

l 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.

Hail, Abra'am’s God, and mine,

I join the heavenly lays;

All might and majesty are Thine,

And endless praise.
