An End of Sin. Dan. 9. 24; John. 19. 18-30

1 Jesus, when on the bloody tree
  He hung, through soul and body pierced,
  That all things might accomplished be
  Contained in Scripture, said, “I thirst.”

2 Hyssop, the plant ordained by God,
  And held by Jews in high esteem,
  Which sprinkled them with paschal blood,
  Sharp vinegar conveyed to him.

3 This done, our dear, our dying Lord
  Exerts his short, expiring breath;
  Utters this rich, important word,
  “’Tis finished!” and submits to death.

4 Henceforth an end is put to sin
  (The important word implies not less).
  Now for believers is brought in
  An everlasting righteousness.

5 The Son of God and man, has died,
  Sinners as black as hell to save;
  And, that they might be justified,
  Is risen victorious from the grave.

6 In heaven he lives, our King, our Priest;
  There for his people ever pleads:
  How sure is our salvation! Christ
  Died, rose, ascended, intercedes.
