Abraham's Faith

Verse 1

The Lord commanded Abraham, Give thy son to me, Thine only son whom thou dost love, A sacrifice to be.

Chorus

The Lord commanded, he obeyed, His faith unfalt’ring still; Obedient ever to the voice of his God, He answered, Lord, I will.

Verse 2

He built an altar on the mount, Placed the wood with care; Then bound the loved one of his heart, And would have slain him there.

Verse 3

But hark! the voice that called his name Staid the fatal flow; Touch not the lad, Jehovah said, For now thy faith I know.

Verse 4

Lord, grant to us a faith like this, Steadfast, firm in Thee, That yields obedience to Thy word, Whate’er that word may be.
