387. 'Tis finished! the Messiah dies

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

2 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.

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

4 Death, hell, and sin are now subdued;
All grace is now to sinners given;
And, lo! I plead th' atoning blood,
And in thy right I claim my heaven.
