'T is finished! the Messiah dies,—Cut off for sins, but not his own;Accomplished is the sacrifice;Now his incarnate work is done.

2

'T is finished! all the debt is paid;Justice divine is satisfied;The grand and full provision made:Christ for a guilty world hath died.

3

The vail is rent; in him aloneThe living way to heaven is seen;The middle wall is broken down,And all mankind may enter in.

4

The types and figures are fulfilled;Exacted is the legal pain;The precious promises are sealed:The spotless Lamb of God is slain.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «318» (large) with the reference line «301, 361, 58.» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 301, 361 or 58), at the top of the right column of p. 105, beside the stanzas of hymn 316; the four stanzas in the right column, then «Charles Wesley.» in italics. The first word is printed with the «IS» of «'T IS» in small capitals; written «'T is» here. «'T is» is printed with a space after the apostrophe (kept). Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. The stanza numbers are printed without a period («1» … «4»). The print sets a thin space before «!», «;» and «:» («finished !», «own ;», «sacrifice ;», «paid ;», «satisfied ;», «made :», «rent ;», «seen ;», «fulfilled ;», «pain ;», «sealed :»); it is closed up here. «dies,—» with a comma and a dash, «vail» as printed. In stanza 4, line 2, an ink blot of the exemplar covers the first letter of «legal» («the ●egal»); the word is read «legal». A stray dot after «pain;» is not printed text. No meter is printed (the text is L. M., like the referenced tunes). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
