Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 22:8 First Line: "God will provide,," the Patriarch said Lyrics: 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:
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.
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.
