Hymn Text
Verse 1
The God of Abrah'm 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 blest.

Verse 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.

Verse 3
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.
