Hymn #478: To Abraham and Sarah


Change to large font


1. To Abraham and Sarah
the call of God was clear:
'Go forth and I will show you
a country rich and fair.
You need not fear the journey
for I have pledged my word:
that you shall be my people
and I will be your God.'

2. From Abraham and Sarah
arose a pilgrim race,
dependent for their journey
on God's abundant grace.
and in their heart was written
by God this saving word:
that you shall be my people
and I will be your God.'

3. We of this generation
on whom God's hand is laid,
can journey to the future
secure and un afraid!
rejoicing in God's goodness
and trusting in this word:
that you shall be my people
and I will be your God.'
