The God of Abraham praise

Author: Thomas Olivers, 1724-1799 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 460 hymnals Topics: Freedom / Liberation Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above, ancient of everlasting days, and God of love. Almighty, 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 God's right hand. I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame and power, and Lord my only portion make, my shield and tower. 3 Though nature’s strength decay, and earth and hell withstand, to Canaan’s bounds I urge my way at God's command; the watery deep I pass with Jesus in my view; and through the howling wilderness my way pursue. 4 The goodly land I see, with peace and plenty blest, a land of sacred liberty and endless rest; there milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound, and trees of life forever grow, with mercy crowned. 5 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness; triumphant o’er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace On Zion’s sacred height God's kingdom still maintains, and glorious with the saints in light forever reigns. 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. Scripture: Genesis 15:1 Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Hebrew, Yigdal

Your Love, O God

Author: Anders Frostenson; Fred Kaan Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Freedom and Liberation First Line: Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, is broad like beach and meadow, wide as the wind, and our eternal home. You leave us free to seek you or reject you, you give us room to answer "yes" or "no." 2 We long for freedom where our truest being is given hope and courage to unfold. We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming, and look for ground where trees and plants can grow. 3 But there are walls that keep us all divided; we fence each other in with hate and war. Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison, our pride of self, the prison coat we wear. 4 O judge us, God, and in your judgment free us, and set our feet in freedom's open space; take us as far as your compassion wanders among the children of the human race.

Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 925 hymnals Topics: Freedom and Liberation Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in God's justice, which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good! There is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we should rest upon God's word; and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.
