Job 33:24: I have found a ransom
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
How welcome to our fallen race
The joyful dead-reviving sound,
When Jesus glories in His grace
"I have Myself a ransom found.
Myself the Purchaser and Price,
Myself the Priest and Sacrifice!"
So dear it cost for sin to' atone.
So dear immortal souls to buy!
But Thou hast laid the ransom down,
And God regards Thy dying cry,
"Father, redeem'd by blood Divine
I challenge all the world for Mine."
