[Father, in Abraham's steps I tread]

He believed in the Lord, and He counted it to him, &c. —xv. 6.

Father, in Abraham's steps I tread,
Receive Thine evangelic word,
Who gav'st to suffer in my stead
Thine only Son, my God and Lord:
The faith, which now I act on Thee,
Who didst again my Surety raise,
Is counted righteousness to me,
And I am saved through Jesu's grace.
