The God of Abraham Praise
The God of Abraham praise Who reigns enthroned above, Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love: To him uplift your voice, At whose supreme command From earth we rise and seek the joys At his right hand.
Though nature's strength decay, And earth and hell withstand, To Canaan's bounds we urge our way At his command. The watery deep we pass, With Jesus in our view, And through the howling wilderness Our way pursue.
The goodly land we 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 for ever grow With mercy crowned.
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 he maintains, And glorious with his saints in light For ever reigns.
Before the Saviour's face Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The ransomed nations bow, O'erwhelmed at his almighty grace For ever new: He shows the prints of love - They kindle to a flame, And sound through all the worlds above The slaughtered Lamb.
Before the great Three-One They all exulting stand, And tell the wonders he has done Throughout the land: The listening spheres attend, And swell the growing fame, And sing in songs which never end The wondrous name.
The God who reigns on high The great archangels sing, And 'Holy, holy, holy' cry 'Almighty King! Who was, and is the same, And evermore shall be: Eternal Father, great I AM, We worship thee.'
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.
