Author: Henry Williams Baker Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #118 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: O perfect life of love! Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love!
All, all is finished now;
All that He left His throne above
To do for us below.
2 No work is left undone
Of all the Father willed;
His toil, His sorrows, one by one,
The Scripture have fulfilled.
3 No pain that we can share
But He has felt its smart:
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.
4 In perfect love He dies;
For me He dies, for me;
O all-atoning Sacrifice,
I cling by faith to Thee.
5 Work, then, O Lord, in me,
As Thou for me hast wrought;
And let my love the answer be
To grace Thy love has brought.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Holy Week; Good Friday; Atonement; Christ Work of; Names and Office of Christ Sacrifice; Names and Office of Christ Substitute; Sanctification Scripture: John 19:28-30 Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON
