“It is finished.” John 19. 30; 4. 34; 17. 4

1 “It is finished!” Sinners, hear it;
  ’Tis the dying Victor’s cry;
  “It is finished!” Angels bear it,
  Bear the joyful truth on high :
  “It is finished!”
  Tell it through the earth and sky!

2 Justice, from her awful station,
  Bars the sinner’s peace no more;
  Justice views with approbation
  What the Saviour did and bore;
  Grace and mercy
  Now display their boundless store.

3 Hear the Lord himself declaring
  All performed he came to do;
  Sinners, in yourselves despairing,
  This is joyful news to you.
  Jesus speaks it,
  His are faithful words and true.

4 “It is finished!” all is over;
  Yes, the cup of wrath is drained;
  Such the truth these words discover;
  Thus the victory was obtained;
  ’Tis a victory
  None but Jesus could have gained.

5 Crown the mighty Conqueror, crown him,
  Who his people’s foes o’ercame!
  In the highest heaven enthrone him!
  Men and angels, sound his fame!
  Great his glory!
  Jesus bears a matchless name.
