Hymnal ‎#85

85. 'Tis finished, so the Saviour cried

1 'Tis finished; so the Saviour creid,
And meekly bowed His head and died;
'Tis finished: yes, the work is done,
The battle fought, the victory won.

2 'T is finished: all that heaven decreed,
And all the ancient prophets said,
Is now fulfilled, as long designed,
In me the Savior of mankind.

3 'T is finished: Aaron now no more
Must stain his robes with purple gore:
The sacred veil is rent in twain,
And Jewish rites no more remain.

4 'T is finished: this My dying groan
Shall sins of every king atone:
Millions shall be redeemed from death,
By this, My last expiring breath.

5 'T is finished: heaven is reconciled,
and all the powers of darkness spoiled:
Peace, love, and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.

6 'T is finished: let the joyful sound
Be heard through all the nations round:
'T is finished: let the echo fly
Through heaven and hell, through earth and sky.
