'Tis Finished, The Messiah Dies
Verse 1
'Tis finished! the Messiah dies; Cut off for sins, but not His own: Accomplished is the sacrifice, The great redeeming work is done.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
The types and figures are fulfilled; Exacted is the legal pain: The precious promises are sealed; The spotless Lamb of God is slain.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
