The Fifty-Fifth Chapter of Isaiah, Part 6

By faith the handmaid of the Lord,
Sarah, received a power unknown;
She judged Him faithful to His word;
Barren and old, she bore a son.

Nature had lost its genial power,
And Abraham was old, in vain:
Impossibilities are o'er,
If faith assent, and God ordain.

He glorified JEHOVAH'S name;
(God spake the word, it must be done;)
Father of nations he became,
And multitudes sprang forth from one.

From one old man the race did rise,
A barren womb the myriads bore,
Countless as stars that deck the skies,
As sands that crown the ocean-shore.
