[“When Abraham was not born, I AM]

Before Abraham was, I am. —viii. 58.

When Abraham was not born, I AM,
I AM from all eternity!”
Jehovah sounds in Jesu's name,
God over all we worship Thee;
Sole, self-existing God Thou art,
Adored in every faithful heart.

Not a new-made dependent God,
But sovereign, absolute, most-high,
Thou cam'st to save us by Thy blood,
Thou cam'st for sinful man to die,
That all mankind might live forgiven
Through Thee, the only God in heaven.
