Description: First published in The American Harmony, 1793, pp. 171-172. Words the first stanza of Yigdal, reportedly by Daniel ben Yehudah Dayan [1], very loosely paraphrased by Thomas Olivers, 1770. Various Christian authors and compilers give a variety of choices for stanzas beyond the first; none of them seem to belong to Yigdal.

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 confessed,
I bow and bless the sacred name,
Forever blessed.
