The God of Abraham praise,

.i Thomas Olivers



.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

for ever blessed.



.2

The God of Abraham praise,

At whose supreme command

From earth we rise,

and seek the joys

at His right hand.

We all on earth forsake

Its wisdom, fame, and power

And Him our only portion make,

our shield and tower.



.3

The God of Abraham praise,

Whose all-sufficient grace

Shall guide us all our happy days

in all our ways.

He is our faithful friend,

He is our gracious God;

And He will save us to the end

through Jesus' blood.



.4

He by Himself hath sworn,

We on His oath depend:

We shall, on eagles' wings upborne,

to heaven ascend;

We shall behold His face,

We shall His power adore,

And sing the wonders of His grace

for evermore.



.5

The whole triumphant host

Give thanks to God on high;

Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

They ever cry.

Hail, Abraham's God, and ours!

We join the heavenly lays;

and celebrate with all our powers

His endless praise.
