The God of Abraham Praise
Author: Thomas Olivers (1725-1799); Daniel ben Judah Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 454 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 34 Lyrics: 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
forever blest.
2 The great I AM has sworn;
I on this oath depend.
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
to heaven ascend.
I shall behold God's face;
I shall God's power adore,
and sing the wonders of God's grace
forevermore.
3 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.
4 Triumphant hosts on high give thanks
eternally
and "Holy, holy, holy” cry,
"great Trinity!"
Hail Abraham’s God and ours!
One mighty hymn we raise:
all power and majesty be yours
and endless praise! Topics: Abraham and Sarah; Exodus; Gathering of the Community; Moses; Praise of God; Trinity Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: The Yigdal; st. 4, rev. Hymns for Today's Church

on trees immortal grow.

with milk and honey flow. [Refrain]

fearless I’d launch away. [Refrain] Topics: Funeral / Memorial Service; Heaven; Hope Used With Tune: BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND Text Sources: A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors, 1787

The presence of God worth dying for; or the Death of Moses
Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 34:5 First Line: Lord, 'tis an infinite delight Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis an infinite delight
To see thy lovely face,
To dwell whole ages in thy sight,
And feel thy vital rays.
2 This Gabriel knows; and sings thy name
With raptures on his tongue;
Moses the saint enjoys the same,
And heaven repeats the song.
3 While the bright nation sounds thy praise
From each eternal hill,
Sweet odours of exhaling grace
The happy region fill.
4 Thy love, a sea without a shore,
Spreads life and joy abroad;
O 'tis a heaven worth dying for,
To see a smiling God.
5 Sweet was the journey to the sky
And wondrous prophet try'd;
"Climb up the mount," says God, "and die,"
The prophet climb'd and died.
6 Softly his fainting head he lay
Upon his maker's breast;
His maker kiss'd his soul away,
And laid his flesh to rest.
7 Shew me thy face, and I'll away
From all inferior things;
Speak, Lord, and here I quit my clay,
And stretch my airy wings.

Christ's admonition to Peter under approaching trials, and intercession for him
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 34:5 First Line: How keen the tempter's malice is! Lyrics: 1 How keen the tempter's malice is!
How artful, and how great!
Tho' not one grain shall be destroyed,
Yet will he sift the wheat.
2 But God can all his power control,
And gather in his chain;
And, where he seems to triumph most,
The captive soul regain.
3 There is a shepherd kind and strong,
Still watchful for his sheep;
Nor shall the infernal lion rend,
Whom he vouchsafes to keep.
4 Blest Jesus, intercede for us,
That we may fall not more,
O raise us when we prostrate lie,
And comfort lost restore,
5 The secret energy impart,
That faith may never fail;
But, 'midst whole showers of fiery darts,
That temper'd shield prevail.
6 Secur'd ourselves by grace divine,
We'll guard our brethren too;
And, taught their frailty by our own,
Our care of them renew.
