The second verse of “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” begins by alluding to raising one of these objects, drawing from a place “of help” in the Book of Samuel. Secular and religious actors debated editing the phrase “placing our trust in” one of these objects into the last sentence (15[1])of Israel’s Declaration of Independence. A piyyut titled for these objects is sung after lighting the candles in the menorah. This object is implored (15[1])to “let me hide myself in thee” and (*) “cleft for me” in a hymn by Augustus Toplady. In Matthew 18:6, Jesus warns that it is better for those who cause children to sin to have one of these objects hung (10[1])around their necks. Catholics believe Peter is one of these objects (10[1])upon which (10[1])Jesus built (10[1])his church. For 10 points, (10[1])name this metaphor for God’s steadfast and everlasting nature. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
