308.  ‘Tis Finished

1
“Tis finished!” so the Saviour cried,
And meekly bowed his head and died.
“Tis finished! yes, the work is done,
The battle fought, the vict’ry won.

2
‘Tis finished! this that heav’n foretold
By prophets in the days of old;
And truths are opened to our view,
That holy prophets never knew.

3
‘Tis finished! Son of God, thy pow’r
Hath triumphed in the awful hour;
Thy life for ours the ransom paid,
And free from death shall we be made.

4
‘Tis finished! let the joyful sound
Be heard through all the nations round;
‘Tis finished! let the triumph rise
And swell the chorus of the skies!
