The God of Abraham Praise

Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 454 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 3:6 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above, the Ancient of eternal days, the God of love! The Lord, the great I AM, by earth and heaven confessed we bow before his holy name forever blest. 2 He by his name has sworn, on this we shall depend, and as on eagles' wings upborne to heaven ascend. There we shall see his face, his power we shall adore and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore. 3 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; the tree of life forever grows with mercy crowned. 4 There rules the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, victorious over death and sin, the Prince of Peace. On Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light forever reigns. 5 Triumphant hosts on high give thanks to God and sing, and "Holy, holy, holy" cry, "Almighty King!" Hail, Abraham's God and ours! One mighty hymn we raise. All power and majesty be yours and endless praise!

Deep in the Shadows of the Past

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 3:13-14 Lyrics: 1 Deep in the shadows of the past, Far out from settled lands, Some nomads traveled with their God Across the desert sands. The dawning hope of humankind Was glimpsed by them alone: A promise calling them ahead, A future yet unknown. 2 While others bowed to changeless gods They met a mystery: God with an uncompleted name, "I am what I will be"' And by their tents, around their fires, In story, song and law They praised, remembered, handed on A past that promised more. 3 From Abraham to Nazareth The promise changed and grew, While some, remembering the past, Recorded what they knew, And some, in letters or laments, In prophecy and praise, Recovered, held, and re-expressed New hope for changing days. 4 For all the writings that survived, For leaders, long ago, Who sifted, chose, and then preserved The Bible that we know, Give thanks, and find its promise yet Our comfort, strength and call, The working model of our faith, Alive with hope for all.

To God and to the Lamb, who is the great "I AM," while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, while millions join the theme, I will sing! 4 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on, and when from death I'm free, I'll sing on!
