Saints Freed from Hagar. Gen. 21. 9-12; Gal. 4. 21-31

1 What! must the Christian draw
  His comforts from the law,
  That can do nothing but condemn?
  If this be Zion’s rule,
  Then unto Hagar’s school,
  Must Sarah send her free-born son.

2 But the bond-woman’s son
  With such shall not be one,
  Isaac alone is lawful heir;
  So Abra’m must obey,
  And Ishmael send away,
  Nor Hagar must continue there.

3 Jehovah has decreed,
  None but the chosen seed
  Shall ever be accounted free;
  Not one shall e’er possess
  The promised land of bliss,
  But Abra’m’s lawful family.

4 And these shall all be freed
  From bondage, guilt, and dread,
  And bliss, immortal bliss enjoy;
  Beyond, beyond the grave,
  The land of promise have,
  And live with God eternally.
