The God of Abraham

Thomas Olivers • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 31:42

Verse 1

The God who reigns on high, The great archangels sing, And "Holy, holy, holy," cry, "Almighty King! Who was and is the same, And evermore shall be; Jehovah, Father, great I Am, We worship Thee."

Verse 2

Before the Saviour's face The ransomed nations bow, O'erwhelmed at His almighty grace, Forever new: He shows His prints of love; They kindle to a flame, And sound, thro' all the worlds above, The slaughtered Lamb.

Verse 3

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 heav'nly lays; All might and majesty are Thine, And endless praise.
