The God of Abraham praise
Author: Thomas Olivers, 1724-1799 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #331 (1997) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Scripture: Genesis 15:1 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
who reigns enthroned above,
ancient of everlasting days,
and God of love.
Almighty, 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 God's right hand.
I all on earth forsake,
its wisdom, fame and power,
and Lord my only portion make,
my shield and tower.
3 Though nature’s strength decay,
and earth and hell withstand,
to Canaan’s bounds I urge my way
at God's command;
the watery deep I pass
with Jesus in my view;
and through the howling wilderness
my way pursue.
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 dwells the Lord our King,
the Lord our Righteousness;
triumphant o’er the world and sin,
the Prince of Peace
On Zion’s sacred height
God's kingdom still maintains,
and glorious with the 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. Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases; Desert / Wilderness; Freedom / Liberation; God Name of; God Image of (in humans); God Creator and Ruler; Jesus Christ Prince of Peace; Land; Praise; Trinity; Zion Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Together in Song #116 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 15:5 Lyrics: 1 Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme
and speak some boundless thing,
the mighty works or mightier name,
of our eternal king.
2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness,
and sound his power abroad;
sing the sweet promise of his grace
and our fulfilling God.
3 His very word of grace is strong
as that which built the skies;
the voice that rolls the stars along
speaks all the promises.
4 He said, "Let wide the heaven be spread,'
and heaven was stretched abroad;
'Abram, I'll be your God,' he said
and he was Abram's God.
5 O might I hear your heavenly tongue
but whisper, 'You are mine';
those gentle words should raise my song
to notes almost divine.
6 How would my leaping heart rejoice,
and think my heaven secure!
I trust the all-creating voice,
and faith desires no more. Topics: Confession of Faith; Confidence; Covenant; Creation; Faith; Faithfulness of God; Grace; Patriarchs; Proclamation: Witness; Providence; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: ST MAGNUS
