#8The God of Abraham Praise
Hymn Display
1
The 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.
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 eagle wings upborne,
To heaven ascend.
I shall behold His face;
I shall His power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
Forevermore.
