[Returning from his sacrifice]
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, &c.
—ii. 23.
Returning from his sacrifice,
The man whom God vouchsafed to' approve,
More highly favour'd by the skies,
And perfected in faith and love,
Again fulfill'd he found the word,
An image of his righteous Lord.
The man whom God vouchsafed to' approve,

And perfected in faith and love,
Again fulfill'd he found the word,
An image of his righteous Lord.
Perfect in love which casts out fear,
The hoary patriarch received
The crown of his obedience here,
And intimate with Heaven he lived,
With glorious dignity endow'd,
For ever styled “the friend of God.”
