126 Gorton. S.M.
(296) Our Ransom Paid.
Our sins on Christ were laid;
He bore the mighty load;
Our ransom price he fully paid
In groans, and tears, and blood.
2 To save a world he dies;
Sinners, behold the Lamb!
To him lift up your longing eyes;
Seek mercy in his name.
3 Pardon and peace abound;
He will your sins forgive;
Salvation in his name is found,--
He bids the sinner live.
4 Jesus, we look to thee;--
Where else can sinners go?
Thy boundless love shall set us free
From wretchedness and woe.
J. Fawcett, 1760.
