Laudes Domini ‎#386

386. "'Tis finished!"

1 "'Tis finished!"--so the Savior cried,
And meekly bowed his head and died:
"'Tis finished!"--yes, the race is run,
The battle fought, the victory won.

2 'Tis finished!--all that heaven foretold
By prophets in the days of old;
And truths are opened to our view
That kings and prophets never knew.

3 'Tis finished!--Son of God, thy power
Hath triumphed in this awful hour;
And yet our eyes with sorrow see
That life to us was death to thee.

4 'Tis finished!--let the joyful sound
Be heard through all the nations round:
'Tis finished!--let the triumph rise,
And swell the chorus of the skies.
