LEONI. (6 6. 8 4. D.) đ đ „ = 84. Hebrew Melody (c. 1776).
Thomas Olivers (l725-1799). A Christian paraphrase of the Hebrew Yigdal or Doxology.
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
For ever blest.

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 forsakeâ
Its wisdom, fame, and powerâ
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 my ways.
He calls a worm his friend,
He calls himself my Go;
And he shall save me to the end
Through Jesus' blood.

He calls a worm his friend,
He calls himself my Go;
And he shall save me to the end
Through Jesus' blood.
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
For evermore.
