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!

The God of Abraham Praise
Come, living God, when least expected
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 3:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.
2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.
3 Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame;
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in ardent youth or mellow age.
5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us
as vivid truth and living Lord,
exploding doubt and disillusion
to scatter hope and joy abroad.
6 Then we will share his radiant brightness
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for those in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Enlivening and Renewing the Church; God Presence of Used With Tune: SUNSET

Let my people go. (Refrain)

Jesus, Where'er Thy People Meet
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 515 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 3:1-15 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
there they behold thy mercy-seat;
where'er they seek thee, thou art found,
and every place is hallowed ground.
2 For thou, within no walls confined,
inhabitest the humble mind;
such ever bring you where they come,
and going, take thee to their home.
3 Here may we prove the power of prayer
to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heaven before our eyes.
4 Lord, we are few, but thou art near;
nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear;
O rend the heavens, come quickly down,
and make a thousand hearts thine own!
