To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Isaac, his beloved son, once the com- fort of his declining age, seeing him, came in his juvenile form, with a smile of joy, mingled with concern, and instantly cried, Ah father, in thy countenance I see the warm emotions of thy mind ! But alas ! our children cruelly slay him, who sanctified himself for them ! Yet, O Jehovah ! thou wilt at length have mercy on them ! thou wilt bear them on eagles' wings to their Saviour ! At this delightful thought felicity comes hovering round me, and extatic ...bliss rushes upon my exult- ing soul ! Yet one idea fills me with sacred awe. -Well dost thou remember, when on yonder sa- cred mount (for ever sacred let it be to me !) thou ledst me to the altar. Thy son more cheer- ful than thyself, went by thy side, rejoicing that he was going with thee to sacrifice to the Eternal : but when I lay bound on the wood, and the light- ed brand flamed by my side ; when I lifted up my eyes swimming in tears to heaven ; when you gave me the parting kiss ; then turning from me drew the glittering blade, and held destruction over thy son But I pass over that trying hour, since crown- ed vrith ages of purest joy Then thine Isaac was surely chosen to prefigure the Son of the Most High the sacrifice that now bleeds on Gtlgotha.
