There in old Chaldea, product of man's fall,

God appeared to Abram — called him from it all.

"Get thee from thy country, from thy father's clan,

Get thee from thy kindred to another land."

 2 

Through the Lord's infusion, Abraham became

Father of the faithful — life had changed his name.

Though the Lord's appearing, brought him to the land,

Still he needed Isaac to fulfill God's plan.

 3 

Isaac from his father did inherit all:

Sonship's full enjoyment, blessing of God's call.

Though all things receiving, incomplete was he;

Lacking transformation and maturity.

 4 

In his father's footsteps, Jacob then became

Prince of God, a wrestler, Israel his name;

By the Spirit's dealing, fully grown, he reigned;

O'er the earth, through Joseph, ruling pow'r obtained.

 5 

Thus do Jacob, Isaac, Abraham portray

Path that we, God's called ones, must walk in today:

Members of the Body, as a corporate man,

We complete His calling and fulfill His plan.
