[Freely He lays the ransom down]

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that, &c. —xviii. 4.

Freely He lays the ransom down,
The life which none could take away,
Goes forth to meet the ills foreknown,
Yields Himself up an easy prey;
His foes by miracle struck blind,
Struck down by one resistless word,
Mild He instructs Himself to find,
And gives them power to seize their Lord.
