1 "It is finished"--all the pain,
All the sorrow, all the strain;

On the hatred of His foes.
3 "It is finished"--all the love,
Deep as His that dwells above;
Saving others, all He gave,
But Himself He would not save.
4 "It is finished"--Hark! the cry,
Uttered in love's agony,-
Is the seal, below, above,
Of the victory of love.
