Laudes Domini ‎#153

153. "I Am"

1 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,
Forever blest!

2 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 power,
And him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.

3 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 God!
And he shall save me to the end
Through Jesus' blood!
