T. Olivers (36/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

T. Olivers 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 blest. 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 hath sworn, I on his oath depend; I shall, on eagle’s wings upborne, To heaven ascend: I shall behold His face, I shall His power adore, And sing the wonders of His grace Forevermore. 4 The goodly land I see, With peace and plenty blest, A land of sacred liberty And endless rest; There milk and honey flow; And oil and wine abound, And trees of life forever grow, With mercy crowned. 5 There dwell the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness; Triumphant o’er the world and sin, The Price of Peace On Zion’s sacred height His kingdom still maintains, And glorious with His saints in light Forever reigns. 6 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 heavenly lays; All might and majesty are Thine, And endless praise.
