Song | The Parable Of The Old Man And The Young |
Artist | Joan Baez |
Album | Baptism |
作词 : Owen | |
So Abram rose, and clave the wood, and went, | |
And took the fire with him, and a knife. | |
And as they sojourned both of them together, | |
Isaac the first-born spake and said, My Father, | |
Behold the preparations, fire and iron, | |
But where the lamb for this burnt-offering? | |
Then Abram bound the youth with belts and straps, | |
And builded parapets and trenches there, | |
And stretched forth the knife to slay his son. | |
When lo! an Angel called him out of heaven, | |
Saying, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, | |
Neither do anything to him, thy son. | |
Behold! Caught in a thicket by its horns, | |
A Ram. Offer the Ram of Pride instead. | |
But the old man would not so, but slew his son, | |
And half the seed of Europe, one by one |
