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 heaven confest,
I bow and bless the sacred Name,
For ever bless'd.

2 The God of Abram praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise and seek the joys
At his right hand.
I'd all on earth forsake,
Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.

3 The God of Abram 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,
Thro' Jesu's blood.

4 He by himself hath sworn,
I on his oath depend,
I shall, on Eagle's wings up-borne,
To heav'n ascend:
I shall behold his face,
I shall his power adore:
And sing the wonders of his grace
For evermore!

Part the Second.

5 Tho' nature's strength decay,
And earth and hell withstand;
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way
At God's command;
The watry deep I pass,
With Jesus in my view,
And thro' the howling wilderness
My way pursue.

6 The goodly land I see,
With peace and plenty blest;
The land of sacred liberty,
And endless rest.
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound;
And trees of life for ever grow,
With mercy crown'd.

7 There dwells the Lord our King,
The Lord our righteousness;
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace.
On Sion's sacred height
His kingdom still maintains;
And glorious, with his saints in light,
For ever reigns.

8 The ransom'd nations bow,
Before the Savior's face,
Joyful their radiant crowns they throw,
O'erwhelm'd with grace:
He shews his fears of love;
They kindle to a flame,
And sound thro' all the world above,
"The slaughter'd Lamb."

9 The whole triumphant host;
Give thanks to God on high:
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!"
They ever cry.
Hail Abram's God and mine,
I join the heavenly lays:
All might and majesty are thine,
And endless praise.
