1.
The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthron’d above
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love;
Jehovah, Great I Am!
By earth and heav’n confess’d;
I bow and bless the sacred name,
Forever bless’d.
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.
The God of Abraham praise;
Whose all-sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my happy days,
In all his ways:
He calls a worm his friend.
He calls himself my God!
And he shall save me to the end.
Through Jesus’ blood.
4.
He by Himself hath sworn,
I on his oath depend,
I shall on eagles’ wings upborne
To Heaven ascend:
I shall behold his face,
I shall his power adore,
And sing the wonders of his grace
Forevermore.
