| Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. (Gen. 22:10,13) |
| David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. (1 Chron. 21:16,27) |
| Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless, not My will, but Thine, be done. (Luke 22:42) |
Himself He could not save;
He on the cross must die,
Or mercy cannot come
To ruined sinners nigh. |
