'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'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!
