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,
For ever blessed.

The God of Heaven praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek my joys
At His right hand.
He calls me to forsake
Earth’s wisdom, fame, and power,
And Him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.

The God of Abram praise,
Whose all-sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my pilgrim 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 Jesus’ blood.

He by Himself hath sworn,
I on His oath depend,
I shall, on eagle-wings upborne,
To heaven ascend:
I shall behold His face,
I shall His power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
For evermore.
