IT IS FINISHED – 148

(Joh 19:30) Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. [NASB]

Tis finished! The Messiah dies, cut off for sins, but not His own.

Accomplished is the sacrifice, the great redeeming work is done.

The veil is rent; in Christ alone the living way to heaven is seen;

The middle wall is broken down, And all the world may enter in.

Tis finished! All my guilt and pain, I want no sacrifice be-side;

For me, for me the Lamb is slain, Tis finished! I am justified.

The reign of sin and death is o'er, And all may live from sin set free;

Satan has lost his mortal power, Tis swallowed up in victory.

Charles Wesley, 1707-1788
