55. The God of Abraham Praise | Hymns

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 confessed,
I bow and bless the sacred Name,
Forever blest.

2.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.

3.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.

4.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.

5. 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.
