Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd so the Savior cried,
And meekly bow'd his head and died.
'Tis finish'd—yes, the race is run,
The battle fought, the victory won.
2 'Tis finish'd–all that Heaven decreed,
And all the ancient Prophets said
Is now fulfill'd, as was design'd,
In me the Savior of mankind.
3 'Tis finish'd—Aaron now no more
Must stain his robes with purple gore:
The sacred veil is rent in twain,
And Jewish rites no more remain.
4 'Tis finish'd—this my dying groan
Shall sins of every kind atone:
Millions shall be redeem'd from death,
By this my last expiring breath.
5 'Tis finish'd—Heav'n is reconcil'd
To God and powers of darkness spoil'd:
Peace, love, and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.
6 'Tis finish'd—let the joyful sound
Be heard thro' all the nations round:
'Tis finish'd—let the echo fly
Thro' heaven and hell, thro' earth and sky. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Redemption; Redemption Finished Scripture: John 19:30 Languages: English
