Genesis 27:15: Father, to that first-born of Thine
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Father, to that first-born of Thine
Thou hast the blessing given,
The power, and dignity Divine,
The' inheritance of heaven.
O how shall I the younger son
The Elder's right obtain?
I'll put my Brother's raiment on.
And thus the blessing gain.
