Tis finished the Messiah...Hymns contents  Charles Wesley (1708 - 1788) Arizona L.M. 1 'Tis finished! The Messiah dies, Cut off for sins, but not his own: Accomplished is the sacrifice, The great redeeming work is done. 2. 'Tis finished! All the debt is paid; Justice divine is satisfied; The grand and full atonement made; God for a guilty world hath died. 3. The veil is rent in Christ alone; The 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. 5. The reign of sin and death is o'er, And all may live from sin set free; Satan hath lost his mortal power; 'Tis swallowed up in victory. 6. Saved from the legal curse I am, My Saviour hangs on yonder tree: See there the meek, expiring Lamb! 'Tis finished! he expires for me. 7. Accepted in the Well-beloved, And clothed in righteousness Divine, I see the bar to heaven removed; And all thy merits, Lord, are mine. 8. Death, hell, and sin are now subdued; All grace is now to sinners given; And lo, I plead the atoning blood, And in thy right I claim thy heaven ********* |
