Genesis 22:2: Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, &c

Tremendous oracle Divine!
Who can the harsh command obey!
"That son, that only son of thine,
That son beloved, that Isaac slay!"
Whoe'er the God oi Abraham kijow,
I'heir faith by like obedience prove.
And offering v their Isaacs show
The power supreme of Jesu's love.

Father, Thou call'st me by my name,
Thy sovereign pleasure to fulfil.
And lo, through grace I ready am
To answer all Thy awful will.
By faith I climb the mountain-top,
Thy blessings cheerfully resign,
And yield my dearest comforts up
A bleeding sacrifice Divine.
