this finished

This finished! the Messiah dies,

cut off for sin, but not His own;

accomplished is the sacrifice,

the great redeeming work is done.

This finished! all the debt is paid,

justice divine is saThisfied,

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 has lost his mortal power;

This swallowed up in victory.

Saved from the legal curse I am,

my Saviour hangs on yonder tree:

see there the meek, expiring Lamb!

This 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
