Abraham's Rejoicing

Verse 1

"God will provide," the Patriarch said, And faith gives ev'ry doubt away; Fearless he climbs Moriah's mound, And sees afar Christ Jesus' day:

Verse 2

Yes! God provides, and God accepts His sacrifice, and his alone: No blood of beasts, not Abraham's son, Nor ought, save Christ, can e'er atone.

Verse 3

Ten thousand blessings crown the Lamb, The Lamb of God that once was slain: Behold he lives, he intercedes, And ransom'd nations shout Amen.
