John 19:30
30 Behold the Saviour on the cross,
a spectacle of woe!
See from his agonizing wounds
the blood incessant flow;
2 Till death’s pale ensigns o’er his cheek
and trembling lips were spread;
Till light forsook his closing eyes,
and life his drooping head!
3 ’Tis finish’d — was his latest voice;
these sacred accents o’er,
He bow’d his head, gave up the ghost,
and suffer’d pain no more.
4 ’Tis finish’d — The Messiah dies
for sins, but not his own;
The great redemption is complete,
and Satan’s pow’r o’erthrown.
5 ’Tis finish’d — All his groans are past;
his blood, his pain, and toils,
Have fully vanquished our foes,
and crown’d him with their spoils.
6 ’Tis finish’d — Legal worship ends,
and gospel ages run;
All old things now are past away,
and a new world begun.
