John 8:58: I "When Abraham was not born, I AM
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
I "When Abraham was not born, I AM,
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.
