Hymnal: MCSM1846 #71 (1846) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 The God of Abra'am praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys
At his right hand:
I all the earth forsake,
Its wisdom, fame and pow'r;
And him my only portion make,
My shield and tow'r.
2 He by himself has sworn,
I on his oath depend,
I shall on angel's wings upbourne,
To heav'n ascend:
I shall behold his face,
I shall his pow'r adore;
And sing the wonders of his grace,
For ever more
3 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
His kingdom he maintains;
And, glorious with his saints in light,
For ever reigns. Languages: English
