Over all Thy boundless throne.

Only Thine to make us strong.

Hymns of gratitude we raise;
To Thy name, forever glorious,
Ever we address our praise.

I 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 confest ;
I bow and bless the sacred Name,

Forever blest!

2 The God who reigns on high,

The great archangels sing,
And, "Holy, Holy, Holy," cry,

"Almighty King!
Who was, and is, the same,
And evermore shall be !"
Jehovah! Father! Great I AM!
We worship Thee!

3 Before the Saviour's face

The ransomed nations bow, O'erwhelmed at His Almighty grace,

Forever new:

He shows His prints of love;

They kindle to a flame,

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!
I join the heavenly lays ;

All might and majesty are Thine,
And endless praise !

5 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.

6 He by Himself hath sworn ;
I on His oath depend;

I shall, on angel wings upborne,
To heaven ascend :

I shall behold His face,

I shall His power adore,

The slaughtered Lamb!

For evermore.

I COME, Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy name to sing,

Help us to praise :

Father all-glorious,

O'er all victorious,

Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!

2 Come, Thou Incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword;

Our prayer attend!
Come, and Thy people bless,
And give Thy word success:
Spirit of holiness,

On us descend!

3 Come, Holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear,

In this glad hour!
Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power!

4 To the great One in Three,
The highest praises be,

Hence evermore !
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

Love and adore.

I GLORY to God on high!
Let heaven and earth reply,
Praise ye His name!
His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
And sing for evermore,
Worthy the Lamb!

2 All they around the throne,
Cheerfully join in one,

Praising His name :

We, who have felt His blood
Sealing our peace with God,
Sound His dear name abroad,
Worthy the Lamb!

3 Join, all ye ransomed race,
Our Lord and God to bless ;
Praise ye His name :
In Him we will rejoice,
And make a joyful noise,
Shouting with heart and voice,
Worthy the Lamb!

4 What though we change our place, Yet we shall never cease

Praising His name :

To Him our songs we bring,
Hail Him our gracious King,
And without ceasing sing,

Worthy the Lamb!
