The God of A-braham praise, Who reigns en-throned a-bove,
An-cient of ev-er-last-ing days and God of love.
Je-ho-vah! Great I AM! by earth and heaven con-fessed;
I bow and bless the sa-cred name, for-ev-er blessed.
The God of A-braham praise, at whose su-preme com-mand
From earth I rise, and seek the joys at His right hand.
I all on earth for-sake, its wis-dom, fame, and power,
And Him my on-ly por-tion make, my shield and tower.
He by Him-self hath sworn, I on His oath de-pend;
I shall, on ea-gles' wings up-borne, to heaven as-cend.
I shall be-hold His face, I shall His power a-dore,
And sing the won-ders of His grace for-ev-er-more.
The good-ly land I see, with peace and plen-ty blessed,
A land of sa-cred lib-er-ty and end-less rest.
There milk and hon-ey flow, and oil and wine a-bound,
And trees of life for-ev-er grow, with mer-cy crowned.
There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Right-eous-ness,
Tri-um-phant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace.
On Zi-on's sa-cred height His king-dom He main-tains,
And glor-ious with His saints in light for-ev-er reigns.
The whole tri-um-phant host gives thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Fa-ther, Son and Ho-ly Ghost!" they ev-er cry.
Hail A-braham's God and mine! I join the heaven-ly lays;
All might and maj-es-ty are Thine, and end-less praise.
