’Tis Finished! The Messiah Dies

’Tis fin­ished! The Messiah dies,
Cut off for sins, but not His own:
Accomplished is the sacrifice,
The great re­deem­ing work is done.
’Tis fin­ished! all the debt is paid;
Justice di­vine is satisfied;
The grand and full atone­ment made;
God for a guilty world hath died.

The veil is rent in Christ alone;
The living way to Heav’n is seen;
The middle wall is broken down,
And all mankind may enter in.
The types and figures are fulfilled;
Exacted is the legal pain;
The pre­cious promises are sealed;
The spot­less Lamb of God is slain.

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.
Saved from the legal curse I am,
My Savior hangs on yonder tree:
See there the meek, expiring Lamb!
’Tis finished! He expires for me.

Accepted in the Well-beloved,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
I see the bar to Heav­en re­moved;
And all Thy merits, Lord, are mine.
Death, hell, and sin are now subdued;
All grace is now to sin­ners given;
And lo, I plead the atoning blood,
And in Thy right I claim Thy Heav­en!
