All, all is finished now all that he left his throne above to do for us below. 2 No work is left undone of all the Father willed; his toils, his sorrows, one by one, are prophecies fulfilled. 3 No pain that we can share but he has felt its smart. All forms of human grief and care have pierced that tender heart. 4 And on his thorn-crowned head and on his sinless soul our sins in all their guilt were laid, that he might make us whole. 5 In perfect love he dies; for me, his awful death! O all-atoning Sacrifice, I cling to you in faith. 6 In every time of need, before your judgment throne your work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead your merit, not my own. 7 Yet work your way in me, my self-will, Lord, remove; then shall my love and service be my answer to your love.
