1. The God of Abraham praise,
who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting day
and God of love.
Jehovah! Great I AM!
by earth and heav’n 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 pow’r,
and him my only portion make,
my shield and tow’r.
3. He by himself hath sworn,
I on his oath depend;
I shall, on eagles’ wings upborne,
to heav’n ascend.
I shall behold his face,
I shall his pow’r adore,
and sing the wonders of his grace
forevermore.
4. The goodly land I see,
with peace and plenty blest,
a land of sacred liberty
and endless rest.
There milk and honey flow,
and oil and wine abound,
and trees of life forever grow,
with mercy crowned.
5. 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 he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light
forever reigns.
