1.The God of Abr'ham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
and God of Love;
Jehovah, great I AM!
by earth and Heav'n confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred Name
forever blessed.

2.The God of Abr'ham 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 pow'r;
And Him my only Portion make,
my Shield and Tow'r.

3.The God of Abr'ham praise,
Whose all sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my happy days,
in all my ways.
He calls a worm His friend,
He calls Himself my God!
And He shall save me to the end,
thro' Jesus' blood.

4.He by Himself has sworn;
I on His oath depend,
I shall, on eagle wings upborne,
to Heav'n ascend.
I shall behold His face;
I shall His pow'r adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
forevermore.

5.Tho' nature's strength decay,
and earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way,
at His command.
The wat'ry deep I pass,
with Jesus in my view;
And thro' the howling wilderness
my way pursue.
