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 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 angel-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 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. Amen
