19 - 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 Heav’n confessed; I bow and bless the sacred Name forever blessed.

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 has sworn; I on His oath depend, I shall, on eagles’ wings upborne, to Heav’n ascend. I shall behold His face; I shall His power adore, And sing the wonders of His grace forevermore.

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 heav’nly lays; All might and majesty are Thine, and endless praise.
