Abraão e Seu Sacrifício

Underneath some very beautiful date palms
Beersheba was already in darkness
The birds listening, among the rose bushes
The patriarch Abraham is seen walking

Your heart before God is troubled
For He wants us to serve Him without murmuring
And, for love, ask the blessed Lord
My beloved son, do you want me then?

Jehovah's powerful voice is heard
Your Isaac offers to Me
Even though your soul is in pain
For I bless you if you do so

From being broken, Abraham becomes strong
And sing hymns, because with faith he already meditates
God can free my son from death
And, not fearing, he goes to Moriah

At the foot of the mountain of supreme sacrifice
Deep doubt entered Abraham
Will I lose the benefit of my life?
And, sadly, he began to climb slowly

For I would give, from the heart, hope
In its autumn, sacrifice of a flower
So he led his lamb to the slaughter
In obedience to the Lord's command

Isaac with the firewood, hurry, go ahead
Oh, how beautiful it is for Abraham
But behold, he returns to his father gently
And he asks him this question

I see that we brought the fire and the wood
But where is the lamb of burnt offering?
And Abraham's response in the Bible we have
My son, God will provide for Himself a lamb

Abraham arrived where God had sent him
He made an altar and arranged the wood on it
And to his son, whom he had previously tied
Taking him in his arms, he laid him down on the altar

But when Abraham went to sacrifice it
The angel of the Lord called to him from heaven
Oh, do not stretch out your hand to kill him
For now I know that you fear God

Abraham suddenly lifted up his eyes
See a lamb trapped in the bush
And taking it, he offers it joyfully
Thus on the mountain of the Lord it will be provided

The angel's voice is heard again
The Lord says: Why have you done this deed?
Indeed I will bless your seed
And in it the blessed nations will be made

Our Isaac we offer firmly
In Moriah where the ideal ends
For it was there that they reached strength
The winners, under angelic song

There our God swore fidelity
The saints were also filled with courage
And we will only have perfect holiness
After we go to the mountain of the Lord
