Was not our father Abraham tried,
And found compleatly justified,
By offering up his only son?
The Lord his faithful servant bless’d,
His off-spring as the stars increas’d,
Because he had this action done:
The blessing of the promis’d seed
(Receiv’d like Isaac from the dead)
Thro’ him to all mankind is giv’n;
And all who with their darlings part,
Shall find the blessing in their heart,
Joy, righteousness, and Christ, and heaven.
