The God of Abraham Praise

1The 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
Forever blessed.

2The 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.

3He by Himself has 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
Forevermore.

4There dwells the Lord our King,
The Lord our righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace;
On Sion's sacred height
His kingdom still maintains,
And glorious with His saints in light
Forever reigns.
