https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using - gives a stanza for use:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

If you only need one package, you could try downloading it from 
archive.debian.org and using dpkg -i to install it

Hope this helps,

Andy C
