Em .
abraham took isaac’s hand and led him to the lonesome hill .

while his daughter hid and watched ,
C . D . Em .
she dare not breathe . she was so still .
G . Am .
just as an angel cried for the slaughter ,
C . D . Em .
abraham’s daughter raised her voice .

Em .
then the angel asked her what her name was ,
she said , “i have none . ”
Em . D . G . Am .
then he asked , “how can this be? ”
C . D . Em .
“my father never gave me one . ”

G . Am .
and with his sword up , raised for the slaughter ,
C . D . Em .
abraham’s daughter raised her bow .
G . Am .
“how darest you , child , defy your father?”
C . D . Em .
“you better let young isaac go . ”
