'Tis finished! so the Saviour cried

"'Tis finished!" so the Saviour cried,

1

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

2

'T is finished! that which heaven foretoldBy prophets in the days of old;And truths are opened to our viewThat kings and prophets never knew.

3

'T is finished! Son of God, thy powerHath triumphed in this awful hour;And yet our eyes with sorrow seeThat life to us was death to thee.

4

'T is finished! let the joyful soundBe heard through all the nations round;'T is finished! let the triumph rise,And swell the chorus of the skies!
