Jonah 2:10: Him dead and buried we confess
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Him dead and buried we confess,
The storm our sins had raised to' appease,
Three days and nights for us confined:
But lo, emerging from the grave.
He comes, a ransom'd world to save.
He preaches life to all mankind!
O that we all His words might hear,
A Greater far hzxvJonah fear.
And live, and die at His command!
Then shall the grave its prey restore.
Raised by His resurrection's power,
And cast us on the heavenly land.
