Till then, nor is the boasting vain; Till then I boast a Saviour slain : And O may this my portion be,That Saviour's not ashamed of me.

66 THIS IS MY NAME FOR EVER."

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,
For ever blest.

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.

Before the Three in One,

They all exulting stand,

And tell the wonders He hath done,
Through all their land.

The listening spheres attend

And swell the growing fame,

And sing, in songs which never end,

The wondrous Name.

The God who reigns on high,
The great arch-angels 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."

Before the Saviour's face

The ransomed nations bow;

O'erwhelmed at His Almighty grace,

For ever new.

He shows His prints of love,

They kindle to a flame,

And sound, through all the world above,

The slaughtered Lamb.

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 be Thine,
And endless praise.
