602. The God of Abraham Praise

1 The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love;
The Lord, the great I AM,
By earth and heav'n confessed:
We bow and bless the sacred Name
For ever blest.

2 He by himself hath sworn:
We on his oath depend;
We shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
To heav'n ascend:
We shall behold his face,
We shall his pow'r adore,
And sing the wonders of his grace
For evermore.

3 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
His kingdom he maintains,
And, glorious with his saints in light
For ever reigns.

4 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."

5 The whole triumphant host
give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!"
They ever cry;
Hail, Abraham's Lord divine!
With heav'n our songs we raise;
All might and majesty are thine,
And endless praise.
