Author: S. Stennett Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXIII (1792) Scripture: Mark 15:37 First Line: 'Tis finish'd, so the Saviour cried Lyrics: 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.
