Em     D   Em           D 
abraham took isaac's hand  
      Em        D       Em 
and led him to the lonesome hill 
              D            Em 
while his daughter hid and watched 
                      D                  Em 
she dared not breathe she was so still 
               D                                 Em 
just as an angel cried for the slaughter 
                    D                         Em 
abraham's daughter raised her voice 
             D              Em            D 
then the angel asked her what her  
                                 Em 
name was she said i have none 
              D              Em 
then he asked how can this be 
                 Em     D          Em  
my father never gave me one 
                                    D                      Em 
and when he saw her raised for the slaughter 
        Em      
abraham's daughter raised her bow 
                         D                          Em 
how darest you child defy your father 
              Em 
you better let young isaac go
