Genesis 22:16–18: Because thou hast done this thing, &c

Was not our father Abraham tried,
And found completely justified,
By offering up his only son?
The Lord His faithful servant bless'd,
His offspring as the stars increased.
Because he had this action done:
The blessing of the promised Seed
(Received like Isaac from the dead)
Through him to all mankind is given;
And all who with their darlings part,
Shall find the Blessing in their heart,
Joy, righteousness, and Christ, and heaven.
