Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

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 confess,
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.

He by Himself hath sworn;
I on His oath depend:
I shall, on eagles’ wings
upborne,
To heaven ascend.
I shall behold his face,
I shall His power adore.
And sing the wonders
Of His grace
For evermore.

The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
