LXXII. 'Tis finish'd so the Savior cried

1 'Tis finish'd so the Savior cried,
And meekly bow'd his head and died.
'Tis finish'd—yes, the race is run,
The battle fought, the victory won.

2 'Tis finish'd–all that Heaven decreed,
And all the ancient Prophets said
Is now fulfill'd, as was design'd,
In me the Savior of mankind.

3 'Tis finish'd—Aaron now no more
Must stain his robes with purple gore:
The sacred veil is rent in twain,
And Jewish rites no more remain.

4 'Tis finish'd—this my dying groan
Shall sins of every kind atone:
Millions shall be redeem'd from death,
By this my last expiring breath.

5 'Tis finish'd—Heav'n is reconcil'd
To God and powers of darkness spoil'd:
Peace, love, and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.

6 'Tis finish'd—let the joyful sound
Be heard thro' all the nations round:
'Tis finish'd—let the echo fly
Thro' heaven and hell, thro' earth and sky.
