The God of Abraham Praise

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 confessed;

I bow and bless the sacred name forever blessed.

The God of Abraham 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.

The God of Abraham praise,

Whose all-sufficient grace

Shall guide me all my happy days in all my ways.

He calls a worm His friend,

He calls Himself my God;

And He shall save me to the end through Jesu’s blood.

He by Himself hath sworn,

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 forever more.

There dwells the Lord our King,

The Lord our Righteousness,

Triumphant o’er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace;

On Zion’s sacred height

His kingdom still maintains,

And glorious with His saints in light forever reigns.

The God who reigns on high

The great archangels sing;

And, holy, holy, holy, cry, Almighty King.

Who was and is the same,

And ever more shall be;

Jehovah, Father, Great I AM, we worship Thee.

Before the Saviour’s face

The ransomed nations bow;

O’erwhelmed at His almighty grace, forever new:

He shows His prints of love,

They kindle to a flame,

And sound through all the worlds above the slaughtered Lamb.

The whole triumphant host

Give thanks to God on high;

Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! They ever cry.

Hail, Abraham’s God, and mine!

I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty

are Thine, and endless praise.
