'Tis Finished! The Messiah Dies
"He said, it is finished: and he bowed his head, and give up the ghost." - John 9:30
VERSE 1
'Tis finished! the Messiah dies:
Cut off for sins, but not His own:
Accomplished is the sacrifice,
The great redeeming work is done.
VERSE 2
"Tis finished! all the debt is paid;
Justice divine is satisfied;
The grand and full atonement made;
God for a guilty world hath died.
VERSE 3
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.
VERSE 4
The types and figures are fulfilled,
Exacted is the legal pain;
The precious promises are sealed;
The spotless Lamb of God is slain.
VERSE 5
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.
VERSE 6
Saved from the legal curse I am,
My Saviour hangs on yonder tree;
See there the meek, expiring Lamb!
"Tis finished! He expires for me.
VERSE 7
Accepted in the Well-beloved,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
I see the bar to heaven removed;
And all Thy merits, Lord, are mine.
VERSE 8
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.
