1 The God of Abraham praise,
who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of Everlasting Days,
and God of Love;
To Him uplift your voice
At whose supreme command
From Earth we rise and seek the joys
At His right hand.
2 There dwells the Lord our King
The Lord our righteousness
Triumphant o'er the world and sin
The Prince of Peace:
On Sion's sacred height
His kingdom He maintains,
And glorious with His saints in light
For ever reigns.
3 Before the Saviour's face
The ransomed nation bow.
O'erwhelmed at His almighty grace
Forever new.
He shows the prints of love
They kindle to a flame
And sound through all the worlds above
The slaughtered Lamb.
4 Before the great Three-One
They all exulting stand,
And tell the wonders He has done
Throughout the land:
The listening spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame,
And sing in songs which never end
The wondrous name.
5 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:
Eternal Father, great I AM
We worship Thee.'
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.
