2 Samuel 24:16: He saw the one great Sacrifice
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
He saw the one great Sacrifice
There to be offer'd up for all.
He heard His Son's expiring cries
For mercy and forgiveness call!
Oui' lives, though forfeited. He spares,
For Jesus, our Atonement, died,
His blood was mingled with His prayers.
And God the just is satisfied!
