’Tis finished! The Messiah
dies,
Cut off for sins, but not
His own:
Accomplished is the
sacrifice,
The great redeeming work is
done.
’Tis finished! all
the debt is paid;
Justice divine is satisfied;
The grand and full atonement
made;
God for a guilty world hath
died.
The veil is rent in
Christ alone;
The living way to heaven is
seen;
The middle wall is broken
down,
And all mankind may enter
in.
The types and figures are
fulfilled;
Exacted is the legal pain;
The precious promises are
sealed;
The spotless Lamb of God is
slain.
The reign of sin and
death is o’er,
And all may live from sin
set free;
Satan hath lost his mortal
power;
’Tis swallowed up in
victory.
Saved from the legal
curse I am,
My Savior hangs on yonder
tree:
See there the meek, expiring
Lamb!
’Tis finished! He expires
for me.
Accepted in the
Well-beloved,
And clothed in righteousness
divine,
I see the bar to heaven
removed;
And all Thy merits, Lord,
are mine.
Death, hell, and sin are
now subdued;
All grace is now to sinners
given;
And lo, I plead the atoning
blood,
And in Thy right I claim Thy
Heaven!
