The God of Abraham Praise

Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 460 hymnals Topics: The Going Forth Recessional Hymns Lyrics: 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: we bow and bless the sacred name, forever blest. 2 He by himself hath sworn, we on his oath depend; we shall on eagles' wings upborne, to heaven ascend; we shall behold his face, we shall his power adore, and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore. 3 The God who reigns on high the great archangels sing, and “Holy, holy, holy!” cry, “Almighty King! Who wast and art the same, and evermore shall be: eternal Father, great I AM, we worship thee.” 4 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! With heaven our songs we raise; all might and majesty are thine, and endless praise. Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: paraphrase of Hebrew Yigdal

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 820 hymnals Topics: The Going Forth Recessional Hymns Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns all music but its own; awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save; His glories now we sing who died and reigns on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified; no angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, "I am with you evermore"? 3 Alleluia! heavenly High Priest, here on earth our help, our stay; Alleluia! hear the sinful cry to you from day to day.
