The God of Abraham Praise | Comfort for Christians:
"The God of Abraham Praise
15 Apr 2018 in Hymns on Worship, Praise
The story is told of a young Jewish woman who had been baptized into the Christian faith, and in consequence was abandoned by her family. She fled to the home of the minister, poured out her heart to him, and as if to show that, after all, her joy in her new-found Savior was greater than all her loss of home and family, she sang, The God of Abraham Praise.1
The God of Abraham Praise was written by Thomas Olivers around 1770. The hymn is Yigdal (Leoni) an old Hebrew melody, and the lyrics based on the 13 creeds of Moses Maimonides (1130-1204). It first appeared in The Gospel Magazine, April 1775.2"
