318. 'Tis finished! the Messiah dies

1 'Tis finished! the Messiah dies,
Cut off for sins, but not his own;
Accomplished is the sacrifice;
Now his incarnate work is done.

2 'Tis finished! all the debt is paid;
Justice divine is satisfied;
The grand and full provision made:
Christ for a guilty world hath died.

3 The vail is rent; in him alone
The living way to heaven is seen;
The middle wall is broken down,
And all mankind may enter in.

4 The types and figures are fulfilled;
Exacted is the legal pain;
The precious promises are sealed:
The spotless Lamb of God is slain.
