CCLXIII. The Free Salvation of God

1 'Tis finish'd, so the Saviour cried,
And meekly bow'd His head and died.
'Tis finished—yes, the race is run,
The battle fought, the vict'ry won.

2 'Tis finish'd–all that heav'n decreed,
And all the ancient prophets said
Is now fulfill'd, as was design'd,
In me the Savior of mankind.

3 'Tis finish'd—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 'Tis finish'd—this my dying groan
Shall sins of ev'ry kind atone:
Millions shall be redeem'd from death,
By this my last expiring breath.

5 'Tis finish'd—heav'n is reconcil'd
To God and pow'rs of darkness spoil'd;
Peace, love, and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.

6'Tis finish'd—let the joyful sound
Be heard thro' all the nations round:
'Tis finish'd_let the echo fly
Thro' heav'n and hell, thro' earth and sky.
