βThe God of Abraham praise,

I bow and bless the sacred name
ββFor ever blest.

βThe God of Abraham praise,
βAt whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys

βIts wisdom, fame, and powerβ
And him my only portion make,
ββMy shield and tower.

Shall guide me all my happy days

βHe by himself hath sworn,
βI on his oath depend:
I shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
ββTo heaven ascend;
βI shall behold his face,
βI shall his power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace
ββFor evermore.
