The God of Abraham Praise is a Hebrew hymn from before the 18th century. The lyrics offer a glorious picture of what it’s like to worship God where He is, and draw us to bow before Him in humility.
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 confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred name / Forever blest.
He by himself has sworn; / I on his oath depend.
I shall, on eagle wings up borne, / To heaven ascend.
I shall behold his face; / I shall his power adore
And sing the wonders of his grace / Forever more.
The goodly land I see, / With peace and plenty blest;
A land of sacred liberty / And endless rest.
There mild and honey flow, / And oil and wine abound,
And trees of life forever grow / With mercy crowned.
There dwells the Lord our king, / The Lord our righteousness,
Triumphant over the world and sin, / The Prince of Peace.
On Zion’s sacred height / His kingdom he maintains
And glorious with his saints in light / Forever reigns.
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 are thine / And endless praise!

Hello,
I just purchased “The God of Abraham Praise” for 16 bells.
I would like to know how to notate the copyright info in the church bulletin – © date, publisher, etc.
How do you prefer this is written?
Thank you,

Hi Janet,
Thank you for asking! It should be fine to use something like this for The God of Abraham Praise:

If you need to show that you have permission for performance or posting to social media, you can add that as well, perhaps as “Used by permission” as a bit of text of [that particular part of] your video.
Happy Ringing – and thank you!
