Who reigns enthron'd above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
Th' almighty God of love.

I bow and bless the sacred name
For ever, ever bless'd.

At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the

Its wisdom, fame and power;
And him my only portion make,
My shield, my rock and tower.

And earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way,
At his divine command.

With peace and plenty bless'd;
A land of sacred liberty,
And everlasting rest.

And oil and wine abound;
And trees of life for ever grow
With endless mercy crown'd.

The Lord our righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
Jesus, the Prince of peace.

He guards them by his side,
Arrays in garments white and pure
His blood-bought, spotless bride.
With streams of sacred bliss,
With groves of living joys,
With all the fruits of paradise

7. Before the Three in One
They all exulting stand,
And tell the wonders he hath done
With his almighty hand.

The list'ning spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame,
And sing, in songs which never end,
Jehovah's wondrous name.

8. The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high:
'Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,'
Eternally they cry:

JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD.

Hail, Abraham's God and mine,
I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are thine,
And never-ceasing praise.
