Hymn 99

 Stones made children of Abraham.


Matt.
 3:9.
 

Vain are the hopes that rebels place
Upon their birth and blood,
Descended from a pious race;
Their fathers now with God.


He from the caves of earth and hell
Can take the hardest stones,
And fill the house of Abram well
With new-created sons.


Such wondrous power doth he possess
Who formed our mortal frame,
Who called the world from emptiness,
The world obeyed and came.
