Текст песни Abraham and the Gospel (Timothy Brindle) с переводом

From all of eternity, God made a pactum

A covenant agreement to make the Son a ransom

To die in the place of the dead

And to rise from death to raise alive all of the elect

Two points, death and resurrection

Promises proclaimed beforehand about the one who has descended

As the seed of Eve, of Abraham and David

To be proclaimed as the Son of God raised from the grave His

Loving grace and benefits communicated

Through signs and types in the OT administration

From Adam to Abraham, from Moses to David

The Gospel was preached and proclaimed they were blessed and elated

And so now the thesis

The Gospel’s not new to apostles ‘cause Jesus

Was present to bless His Old Covenant saints

One Church, one Covenant of Grace, this is great!

Laid before Abraham we see his son Isaac

Strapped to an altar to be sacrificed this

Act of faith indeed this may surprise us

Why did God tell him to murder and kill his prized gift?

His only son to whom belonged the promise

Abraham considered that God could raise from death

His offspring indeed he did although we speak figuratively

It points us to a precious promise!

The death and resurrection of Christ

Communicated to this Old Covenant saint through signs, shadows and types

And the Apostle Paul speaks to us in Galatians

He was blessed by this Gospel and all the nations indeed would be blessed too

And through him the seed of the woman would rescue Jews and Gentiles too

That’s why I’m so hype to know that it’s all Christ

Who saves and preserves his whole church by his whole might

We read in Hebrews 6, to indeed convince

The heirs of the promise of God that Jesus is

Our steadfast anchor and hope of assurance

That Christ the high priest intercedes for us

He swore an oath by Himself to secure us

With no other name to swear by—this should floor us!

And He first made this clear to Abraham

In the shadow of a risen son and a slain ram

And before Abraham in Genesis 22

Stands the Son of God to swear by himself

That through Him he will bless dudes

Peep the Administrator, of the Covenant of Grace is our blessed Savior

And most efficaciously and spiritually

Christ communicates His benefits most visibly

Once in types and signs now in the bread and wine

Jesus, He feeds our faith by His love divine!

Chapter VII

Of God’s Covenant with Man

I. The distance between God and the creature is so great, that although

reasonable creatures do owe obedience unto Him as their Creator,

yet they could never have any fruition of Him as their blessedness and reward,

but by some voluntary condescension on God’s part, which He has pleased to

express by way of covenant

II. The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works, wherein life was

promised to Adam; and in him to his posterity, upon condition of perfect and

personal obedience

III. Man, by his fall, having made himself incapable of life by that covenant,

the Lord was pleased to make a second, commonly called the covenant of grace;

wherein He freely offers unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ;

requiring of them faith in Him, that they may be saved, and promising to give

unto all those that are ordained unto eternal life His Holy Spirit,

to make them willing, and able to believe

IV. This covenant of grace is frequently set forth in scripture by the name of

a testament, in reference to the death of Jesus Christ the Testator,

and to the everlasting inheritance, with all things belonging to it,

therein bequeathed

V. This covenant was differently administered in the time of the law,

and in the time of the Gospel: under the law it was administered by promises,

prophecies, sacrifices, circumcision, the paschal lamb, and other types and

ordinances delivered to the people of the Jews, all foresignifying Christ to

come; which were, for that time, sufficient and efficacious, through the

operation of the Spirit, to instruct and build up the elect in faith in the

promised Messiah, by whom they had full remission of sins, and eternal

salvation; and is called the Old Testament

VI. Under the Gospel, when Christ, the substance, was exhibited,

the ordinances in which this covenant is dispensed are the preaching of the

Word, and the administration of the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper:

which, though fewer in number, and administered with more simplicity,

and less outward glory, yet, in them, it is held forth in more fullness,

evidence, and spiritual efficacy, to all nations, both Jews and Gentiles;

and is called the New Testament. There are not therefore two covenants of

grace, differing in substance, but one and the same, under various

dispensations
