Verse 1
“T’is 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
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 th’atoning blood,
And in Thy right I claim Thy heaven.
Charles Wesley.
