P.M.

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.

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.

3

He by Himself hath sworn,

I on his oath depend;

I shall, on eagle’s wings upborne,

To heaven ascend:

I shall behold His face,

I shall His power adore,

And sing the wonders of His grace

Forevermore.

4

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,

And trees of life forever grow,

With mercy crowned.

5

There dwell the Lord our King,

The Lord our Righteousness;

Triumphant o’er the world and sin,

The Price of Peace

On Zion’s sacred height

His kingdom still maintains,

And glorious with His saints in light

Forever reigns.

6

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.
