The God of Abraham we adore

Verse 1
The God of Abraham we adore,
Who faith did to our Father give,
And rais’d him up to go before
The Guide to all that should believe:
The God of hope in Isaac’s God,
Receiv’d as from the dead we see
T’ express the life on saints bestow’d,
The glorious immortality.

Verse 2
The God of love with cordial praise
As Jacob’s God we magnify,
That Model of paternal grace,
Fruitful in blessings from the sky!
Blessings in death to his own seed
He dealt; but Goodness unconfin’d
Expir’d, when Jesus bow’d his head,
And life bequeath’d to all mankind.
