'TIS finished! The Messias dies,

By A Collection of Hymns


      L.M. John xix. 30.
      1 'TIS finished! The Messias dies,
      Cut off for sins, but not his own:
      Accomplished is the sacrifice,
      The great redeeming work is done.

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

      3 The veil is rent in Christ 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.

      5 The reign of sin and death is o'er,
      And all may live from sin set free;
      Satan hath lost his mortal power;
      'Tis swallowed up in victory.

      6 Saved from the legal curse I am,
      My Saviour hangs on yonder tree:
      See there the meek, expiring Lamb!
      'Tis finished! he expires for me.

      7 Accepted in the Well-beloved,
      And clothed in righteousness divine,
      I see the bar to heaven removed;
      And all thy merits, Lord, are mine.

      8 Death, hell, and sin are now subdued;
      All grace is now to sinners given;
      And lo, I plead the atoning blood,
      And in thy right I claim thy heaven!
