“The Trial of Abraham’s Faith,” by Gustave Dore (1866)

Abram wept at the altar.

Old Abram, wise Abram, Faithful, unshakable, unchangeable Abram, Bless the earth with posterity Abram, Fell on his face with the knife. Isaac lay patiently waiting While Abraham cried.


Elohim wept at the altar.

All Father, wise Father,

Faithful, unshakable, unchangeable Father,

Frame the earth and the universe Father,

Darkened the earth and the skies.

Jesus hung patiently dying

While Elohim cried.
