Christian Songs, Song XLVIII

'Tis finished! THE SAVIOUR cry'd, When on the cross he bow'd, and dy'd; 'Tis finished! all heav'n resounds, Th' Eternal's mercy knows no bounds!—

2 Let's catch, my friends, the heav'nly theme, 'Tis finished! let us proclaim: Justice divine is now appeas'd, God rests in his own Son well pleas'd.

3 'Tis finished! ye nations hear, Your fruitless labour now forbear; By Jesus' finish'd work alone, There's access to God's holy throne.

4 'Tis finished! The work is done! By God's own well-beloved Son; His work most perfect is, and pure, And shall eternally endure.

5 'Tis finished! The Lamb once slain, Is from the dead rais'd up again; He hath ascended up on high, And captive led captivity.

6 'Tis finished! Now may we sing, Devouring death! where is thy sting? O grave! where is thy victory? Here's life and immortality!

7 'Tis finished! Here's food for praise, Here's subject meet for heav'nly lays; And God's redeem'd shall ever sing, The praises of th' Eternal King!

8 Then let us still, with thankful voice, In Jesus' finish'd work rejoice; 'Tis finished! Let us proclaim, Eternal thanks to God's great name.
