The God of Abraham praise

by Thomas Olivers (1725–1799)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 11.

Verse 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.

Verse 2

The God of Abraham praise, At whose supreme command From earth I rise, and seek the joys At His right hand; I all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame and power; And Him my only portion make, My shield and tower.

Verse 3

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.
