Hymns to the Living God ‎#146

146. 'Tis Finished! The Messiah Dies

1 'Tis finished! The Messiah dies -
cut off for sins, but not His own;
accomplished is the sacrifice -
the great redeeming work is done.

2 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.

3 'Tis finished! All my guilt and pain,
I want no sacrifice beside;
for me, for me the Lamb is slain,
'tis finished! I am justified.

4 The reign of sin and death is o'er;
all grace is now to sinners giv'n;
and lo! I plead th'atoning blood,
and in Thy right I claim my heav'n.
