’Tis Finished! The Messiah Dies

’Tis fin­ished! The Mes­si­ah dies

Cut off for sins

but not His own:

Accomplished is the sac­ri­fice

The great re­deem­ing work is done.

’Tis fin­ished! all the debt is paid;

Justice di­vine is sa­tis­fied;

The grand and full atone­ment made;

God for a guil­ty world hath died.

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.

The types and fig­ures are ful­filled;

Exacted is the le­gal pain;

The pre­cious pr­omis­es are sealed;

The spot­less Lamb of God is slain.

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.

Saved from the le­gal curse I am

My Sav­ior hangs on yon­der tree:

See there the meek

ex­pir­ing Lamb!

’Tis fin­ished! He ex­pires for me.

Accepted in the Well-be­loved

And clothed in right­eous­ness di­vine

I see the bar to Heav­en re­moved;

And all Thy mer­its

Lord

are mine.

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!
