Isaac, at Peace with Philistia

George Richards • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 26:30

Verse 1

God hath givn' to Isaac room— See Philistines friendly come; Hark! they hail one common Lord; One by him, by them ador'd.

Verse 2

Strife, contention, hatred ends; Met in peace, they dwell as friends; Mutual oath, confirm'd above, Jesu and Gentile binds in love.

Verse 3

Lord! complete this type of thee, Bid all nations bend the knee; Blessed in th'eternal Son, Bring the wond'rers home, as one.

Verse 4

Give them peace, the peace of God; Peace in heaven by Jesus' blood; Thou the truth, the life, the way, Peace, good will to all display.
