HYMN 114.

The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthron'd above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love;
Jehovah! great I AM!
By earth and Heav'n confess'd;
I bow, and bless Thy sacred Name,
For ever blessed.

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 pow'r;
And Him my only portion make,
My Shield and Tower.

The God of Abraham praise,
Whose all sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my happy days
In all His ways.
He calls a worm His friend,
He calls Himself my God;
And he shall save me to the end,
Through Jesus' blood.
