当人堕落至极，沦于迦勒底，荣耀之神显现，呼召人脱离；亚伯兰即起行，缠累全撇弃，离开亲族、父家，往神赐之地。
There in old Chaldea, product of man's fall,
God appeared to Abram — called him from it all.
"Get thee from thy country, from thy father's clan,
Get thee from thy kindred to another land."
Our Lord God Jehovah called a corporate man,
One that would express Him and fulfill His plan.

主神显现、注入，信心油然生，改名亚伯拉罕，步履何坚定；信心族类之父，得以撒继承，祭坛、帐棚生活，神旨意成功。
Through the Lord's infusion, Abraham became
Father of the faithful — life had changed His name.
Though the Lord's appearing, brought him to the land,
Still he needed Isaac to fulfill God's plan.
Our Lord God Jehovah called a corporate man,
One that would express Him and fulfill His plan.

父的一切丰富，以撒全承继，儿子名分丰满，福分何能比？借恩接受一切，但仍有缺遗，需要生命变化，成熟且满溢。
Isaac from his father did inherit all:
Sonship's full enjoyment, blessing of God's call.
Though all things receiving, incomplete was he;
Lacking transformation and maturity.
Our Lord God Jehovah called a corporate man,
One that would express Him and fulfill His plan.

变化路上前进，雅各脱天然，那灵管教、对付，生命得淬炼；抓夺者成王子，以色列见显，终借约瑟执政，成熟而掌权。
In his father's footsteps, Jacob then became
Prince of God, a wrestler, Israel his name;
By the Spirit's dealing, fully grown, he reigned;
O'er the earth, through Joseph, ruling pow'r obtained.
Our Lord God Jehovah called a corporate man,
One that would express Him and fulfill His plan.

列祖历程描绘神子民道路，照神计划蒙召，我们同步武；信心脚踪追随，望断及于主，只为建造身体，新人得显出。
Thus do Jacob, Isaac, Abraham portray
Path that we, God's called ones, must walk in today:
Members of the Body, as a corporate man,
We complete His calling and fulfill His plan.
Our Lord God Jehovah called a corporate man,
One that would express Him and fulfill His plan.
