1 The God who spoke at Haran, who gave us his decrees at Moreh and at Bethel and Mamre's mighty trees: this is the One we worship, the living God we serve, the Father pouring blessings on those who least deserve. 2 From Abraham's long journey to Moses' desert road a people learned to travel obedient to their Lord; God's covenant of mercy in every path and place makes us his own by promise, gives us himself by grace. 3 The God who sent the prophets a kingdom to proclaim has in the end sent Jesus who bears the saving name: the eternal Lord of glory, the King who rules by love, the Son who at his weakest brings power from above. 4 Let none despise the promise nor take such gifts in vain, but come to find the cleansing that purges every stain; the freedom of God's children, the joy of sins forgiven, the Holy Spirit's fulness, the sweet foretaste of heaven. 5 Let Abraham's true offspring, set right by grace through faith, be steadfast in their purpose, obedient till death. God speaks, and we will trust him; his coming we expect: he calls us friends, he loves us, his mercy we reflect. 6 To God who chose his people before they were conceived; to Christ whose cross means victory for all who have believed: all glory in the highest to God the Three-in-One! and in the Holy Spirit our path has just begun.
