GRH 012 The God of Abraham Praise

(1)
The God of Abra’m praise,
Who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love, Jehovah, great I AM!
By earth and heav’n confessed;
We bow and bless the sacred name,
For ever blest.

(2)
The God of Abra’m praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth we rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand;
We all on earth forsake,
Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him our only portion make,
Our shield and tower.

(3)
He by Himself hath sworn,
We on His oath depend,
We shall, on eagles’ wings upborne,
To heav’n ascend:
We shall behold His face,
We 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, Abr’am’s God and ours!
We join the heav’nly lays;
And celebrate with all our powers His endless praise.
