[00:04.99]So Abram rose and clave the wood and went
[00:08.23]And took the fire with him and a knife
[00:13.10]
[00:16.42]And as they sojourned both of them together
[00:19.86]Isaac the first-born spake and said my father
[00:24.62]
[00:25.56]My father
[00:27.75]
[00:30.10]My father
[00:34.87]Behold the preparations fire and iron
[00:44.87]
[00:46.39]But where the lamb for this burnt-offering
[00:52.99]
[01:04.91]Then Abram bound the youth with belts and straps
[01:15.56]
[01:19.48]And builded parapets and trenches there
[01:27.78]
[01:32.94]And stretchèd forth the knife to slay his son
[01:40.72]
[01:44.96]When lo an angel called him out of heaven
[02:08.89]Saying Lay not thy hand upon the lad
[02:18.27]Neither do anything to him Behold
[02:27.34]A ram caught in a thicket by it's horns
[02:38.95]
[02:41.63]Offer the Ram of Pride instead of him
[02:55.60]
[03:07.66]But the old man would not so but slew his son
[03:15.73]
[03:18.96]And half the seed of Europe one by one
[03:25.20]
[03:30.45]And half the seed of Europe one by one
[03:35.55]
[03:43.15]And half the seed of Europe one by one
[03:55.88]
[04:07.18]And half the seed of Europe one by one
