94. The God of Abraham Praise

1 The God of Abraham praise, all praises to God's name,
who was and is and is to be, fore'er the same!
The one eternal God, before what now appears;
the First, the Last: beyond all thought through timeless years!

2 God's Spirit freely flows, high surging where it will;
God spoke of old in prophet's word; that word speaks still.
Established is God's law, and changeless it shall stand,
deep written on the human heart, in every land.

3 God has eternal life implanted in the soul;
God's love shall be our strength and stay, while ages roll.
All praise the living God! Extol that hallowed name,
who was, and is, and ever shall be still the same!

4 The God of Abraham praise, all praises to God's name,
who was and is and is to be, fore'er the same!
The one eternal God, before what now appears;
the First, the Last: beyond all thought through timeless years!
