The God of Abraham Praise
Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 454 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:11 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise,
who reigns enthroned above,
the Ancient of eternal days,
the God of love!
The Lord, the great I AM,
by earth and heaven confessed
we bow before his holy name
forever blest.
2 He by his name has sworn,
on this we shall depend,
and as on eagles' wings upborne
to heaven ascend.
There we shall see his face,
his power we shall adore
and sing the wonders of his 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;
the tree of life forever grows
with mercy crowned.
4 There rules the Lord our King,
the Lord our Righteousness,
victorious over death and sin,
the Prince of Peace.
On Zion's sacred height
his kingdom he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light
forever reigns.
5 Triumphant hosts on high
give thanks to God and sing,
and "Holy, holy, holy" cry,
"Almighty King!"
Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
One mighty hymn we raise.
All power and majesty be yours
and endless praise!

There Is No Name So Sweet on Earth
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 316 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:9-11 Refrain First Line: We love to sing around our King Lyrics: 1 There is no name so sweet on earth,

We love to sing around our King,
and hail him blessed Jesus;

so dear, so sweet as "Jesus."

they wrote this name above him;
that all might see the reason we
forevermore must love him. [Refrain]

almighty to release us
from sin and pains, he gladly reigns,
the Prince and Savior Jesus. [Refrain]

and ev'ry tongue confess him,
and we unite with saints in light,
our only Lord to bless him. [Refrain]

your grace shall fail us never;
today as yesterday the same,
you art the same forever. [Refrain]

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:5-8 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God,
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love, that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail;
4 and that a higher gift than grace
should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
5 O generous love, that he who smote
in Man for man the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo,
6 and in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his friends, and thus inspire
to suffer and to die.
7 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
